I don't know if anyone noticed it yet, or if it is a problem, but the bar code dimesions given in James's shortcuts do not correspond to the actual ones. For example, the DS230 coversheet barcode size is 99mm long by 9mm wide, not 82mm(3.45in) by 6mm(0.4). How much difference that makes, I don't know. But that's something to keep in mind.

Yes, you are right. I sent my I-864 and DS 230 barcol to Aussiewench. Hopefully, it will be fixed, but she is very busy lately.

Well, has anyone had their paperwork returned because of it?

I think, you wil be fine as long as you have the barcode cover sheet.

For the DS-230, I used the barcode that came with my I-864 package. I make copies of every last piece of paper they send out so I had a copy on hand. Just copied it on the scanner and pasted it on to the DS-230 Barcode page. It's a simple work around.
