Emailing I-184 TO NVC

Thank you to everyone for all your help so far!!

I'm compiling my documents to email NVC my I-184 but I'm a bit stumped. Do I attach every document separately in the email or is there a better way to do it? I'm just thinking that with all the transcripts, bank statements and pay stubs there will be a lot of attachments.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance!

*I-864

You compile all the PDFs into one large PDF. You then send that one PDF to NVC. I have instructions on how to do this in my wiki (linked below in my signature).

I forgot to specify ... I need to know how to do it if you DO NOT have Adobe Acrobat.

Thanks for your reply!

you can zip files together. just use your shift key highlight the documents you want to include, right mouse click,send to> compressed zip folder. that should work for you. good luck. I'm not at that stage yet -hopefully a few weeks :)

You have to put them in a .pdf format. It is the only format NVC accepts.

1. Download the free Adobe

2. Scan your documents as a .pdf, or after they are scanned, turn them into a .pdf file. (If you scan everything at one time it will make them one big .pdf file. If you scan individually, then you have to merge them.)

3. use Foxy ->>Foxy utilities to merge into one document.

4. use PDF escape ->> PDF escape to fill out the forms and put them in the order you want.

Both are foxy and pdf escape are free and will not harm your computer. Make sure your packages are under 8mb or NVC servers will reject them.

May I ask how you made your package under 8MB??

Scan your papers in at a lower resolution. I used 150 dpi and they turned out fine. Most scanners are set to automatic or 300 dpi. Go into either your scanner application and change the dpi resolution, or use the software with it. You might have to google how to change your settings.

After you have them all scanned and merged into one document, right click on it and choose properties -> Advance -> then click on compress to save disk space-> apply. That will compress the file down a few MB.

Also I did not send three years worth of tax documents, I only sent the current year transcripts for me and my joint sponsor. My AOS package was 56 pages. At first it was 16mb, by re-scanning at a lower resolution I got it down to 6mb.

The OP made an error; they're referring to the I-864.
