Jame's shortcut has been around for sometime and many have used the bar code generator with no problem, if that's your concern.:-)

However, the latest development at NVC, with the availability of online payment and option to email DS-3032 (refer to Loto's guide), you don't need Jame's short cut anymore.

Jame's shortcut is relevant ONLY if you decided to send the DS-3032 by snail mail before you receive the letter from NVC.

Some people on VJ have a combination of Jame's shortcut to mail DS-3032 and follow Loto's guide for payment and document submission.
