Can I use James Shortcut for DS-230?

[Justo/Sheyla 0]

I received the IV bill yesterday, in the instructions it says that after they receive and process the payment they will send the DS-230 form to be completed and sent back. They ask not to use any form dowloaded from the internet. I have the DS-230 filled, signed by my wife and ready to send using the James Shorcut. What do I do?

Because they want the form with your barcode already on it.

If you have the proper barcode on your self-generated form, and it is in the right place, it should work just fine.

Yes by all means send it in.

Be sure to have the MNL number clearly printed at the top right hand corner of ALL documents.

Be sure that you have sent in Police certificates for All Cities lived in since 16 years old,and NBI Clearance.

You do not need Visa Photos,but be sure to include all documents included in the list as required in the checklist.Double check to be sure all questions have been answered, and or filled in with N/A. Yes James Short Cuts make no difference and has been done by thousands prior to you. Follow the instructions ,mail to the correct address,and if you have done all this...no problem.

Good Luck, and hang in there.

Yes, you can use Jame's Shortcuts to send in your DS-230. I did, and many others have also.

RanynRose referred to (their) "MNL" number. A more accurate way is to say "your case number" is what you need to have at the top right hand corner of each page.

The first 3 letters of the case number refer to the city of your embassy, so "MNL" is embassy specific. Your case number will start out with 3 different letters.

Also, RandynRose referred to sending in Police Certificates and NBI clearance. This information did not need to be sent in with our DS-230, so you will want to verify. Maybe it is something specific to the Phillipines immigration or certain other countries not including Colombia (in my case)?

The only thing required to be sent in with our completed DS-230 was what was indicated in James Shortcuts and the letter we received from the NVC. Please verify your own requirements with NVC if you haven't done so already.

I generated mine & mailed it yesterday, so here's hoping.

Just an FYI, not sure if it was just my case, but I emailed the NVC last Wednesday because they had received my IV Fee Bill, but the system hadn't been updated. I received an email back yesterday saying that the DS-230 was generated January 29 -- but the phone system still hasn't updated!

Good luck - looks like you are moving super fast!!

Yes you are correct. The information I gave them is specific to the Phil's and they are doing that. Information given not relating to the Phil's will leave them with the wrong information. For some reason the Phil's are different in most respects, and a pain in the Keester. Best wishes on your journey. Randy S

There is no policy stating how it has to be placed on the top, it just states in the packet, that your case number must be written clearly and legibly on the top right corner of all documents. As has everyone else that I know, including myself, I just hand write the case number. It need not be a certain size, certain script, that is all just detail. But be sure to write it big enough for them to read easily, I just wrote the same size as the case numbers they placed on the forms. So if you have any others questions, I would be glad to help, if i am able. It's nice to see others willing to ask and to help other people.

Take Care and God Bless.

yes .that is fine. it is but to show you where you must fill in the information. Kind of like a friendly reminder.

So disregard it and use it and send it in.

I hope you find your place, and a place in her heart.

Good luck and I will stay in touch.
