Hey there,

I have read about Jame's shortcuts but I never fully understood what they are and what they are used for and why. Can anybody clue me in? Thanks!

Jasmin,

James shortcuts are used during your time at the NVC (National Visa Center). The shortcuts help save approx 20 days or so.

The link to Jame's shortcuts is below

Couple of examples of James' shortcut include

E-mailing the Choice of Agent rather than waiting for the document to be sent out.

Sending the AOS fee bill before you receive the bill itself

You should read the short cuts carefull and follow all the instructions as described.

Good luck

Thank you for your quick answer.

Is that whole thing legal, though? Generating something?

These shortcut's are not "offically recognized" by the NVC. However, in saying that, many people, including myself have used them to great effect to save significant time. The critical thing to remember is to use the shortcuts at the appropriate time - that is to say, when the NVC's automated phone system indicates that the documents have been generated and sent.. issentially all you are doing is sending the documents you create before the orignals are delivered to your house.

It's your own personal choice whether you decide to use these shortcuts or not.
