I've just got my barcode sheets printed (for I-864, DS-230, and Tax Data), and I have only three easy questions about this stage. I'm very pleased with how easy it is to use James' Shortcuts! :thumbs:

1) There are some asterisks at the top right of the Tax Data form. Are they on the form that gets mailed in the packet, or should I delete them?

2) I read a thread about this, but can't find it now. The barcode instructions for the DS-230 coversheet make a bigger barcode than the one on the example form. It's okay to use the bigger barcode, right?

3) Is the I-864EZ on one-sided or two-sided pages when it comes in the packet?

Other than that, I'm good to go. We have everything all set for the NVC phase.

Yay! :D

Hi, Janice. I absolutely recommend the use of the Shortcuts. They aren't complicated, and learning/using them has made my husband and I feel much more in control of our own Visa Journey. This week we saw results from the first step, saving us ten precious days. Every little bit helps!

Good luck to you,

JenM
