Hello all. My wife recently got her I-130 petition approved and am trying to get everything ready for the next phase. Is the LingChe Shortcut still 100% up to date? I have heard great things about it, and I intend to follow it word for word, but is there anything that might have changed since 2008, when it was written? Or is it still currently correct and valid and a good resource for us to use? I just don't want to make any mistakes in the NVC process :blink: Thanks in advance for any input :thumbs:

Hi! Congrats on the approval. The LingChe shortcut still works but there have been a few changes in the process.

  • There is no longer an Automated Voice Response (AVR) system at the NVC. So on Mon-Fri you'll get an operator, and on weekends - Sat-Sun - you won't be able to get any information.
  • You don't need to generate a bar code and mail your DS-3032 Choice of Agent Form. Instead, as soon as you get your Case # and Invoice #, just go ahead and email the DS-3032 using the template linked here.
  • When you've paid your AOS and IV application invoices and the online status shows paid, you can print the barcode cover sheet from the portal to send in with those applications. No need to generate a barcode.

IslandLady, thanks so much for the reply! That is exactly the type of thing I was wondering about. Sounds a little less complicated too. And thanks for the link! :)
