PDF forms with not enough space

[ffp 2]

Hello

When I file my K-1 There was couple forms that would not take date. It cut out some digits. Some times the box was smaller then it should be.

So when I was preparing papers for my fiancee. The one for interview. I used software to unlock pdf and then use pdf editor software to adjust boxes.

If you have same problem and would like to fit some info in form just google for software that unlock pdf and the one that can edit.

It's really not wise to alter government forms in any way. Instead, type/write "See attached document." on the form and then attach a separate sheet with the information that doesn't fit. Why risk having the visa denied/refused?

What forms would not take the date? If you couldn't get the date to fit, perhaps you put it in the wrong format. It needs to be how they want it otherwise it could be rejected...the same as for altering the forms.

Just print out the form and fill it out. Thats what i did because some letters won't fit. They will accept it.. goodluck!

Agreed. Bad idea.

Take the forms as they are - don't alter or tamper with them. You're asking for problems.

I did all my forms on the downloadable pdfs and I had space. Change your fort size.

Well all I did is edit the space where you type. I find most forms funny. The form that does not take date was g-325a.

So I stretch the date box to be bigger. You can download any form and find something that will not fit. Why not stretch to fit 1 single letter? It is only the fill in box....

Note you can not change font size on forms due that they are locked out.

PS: It is not editing forms but editing of where boxes are for typing so it is safe. I am not good with handwriting so I better type it.

Yes we know you can use software to modify PDF files.

Here's the issue. Those forms are deisgend that way for a pupose and I suspect that they are scanned into databases.

All you've probably done is cause your "modified" forms to be rejected possibly by a scanner. This may cause a delay or rejection.

If you're following the mm-dd-yyyy format noted on the G-325A, everything should fit. What were you trying to type that didn't fit? Again, it may be just a "small" edit to you and perhaps no one will notice, but why risk having the forms tossed because they aren't exact?

My g-135a accepted the date fine. Download the latest form, and try it on another computer and it might work, or print it out and do it by hand. Stop trying to justify why you edited the form. Although we are all impressed with your .pdf editing skills, this is not a wise idea. The form will be rejected and you will have to redo and resubmit, so dont do it unless thats what you want.
