Electronic Processing

[RebeccaS 7]

I am having the worst time. It's driving me crazy. I've attempted to send my AOS package to the NVC about 3 times now each time has not worked. I opted for Electronic processing so all my files and documents and forms need to be sent through email as attachments.

The problem I'm having is that I my signed and scanned form I-864 form is too big (35 MB) and exceeds the limit that my email provider is able to send (can't exceed 25 MB)

I've already tried to send it into 2 parts. I saved half of the form (first 4 pages) as an attachment, then I sent the 2nd part as an attachment (last 4 pages) in another email. But then I got an email from the NVC saying that they did not receive form I-864. Then I called them and their supervisor told me that I must send it as a complete file attachment so that it can reviewed correctly. BUT I CAN"T.

But wait... then I sent form I-864 a website that allows large files to be sent as attachments. It gets linked from your email though so I thought it would be fine. But then I received an email from the NVC that they cannot review any files sent through different emails.

THEN... I sent the attachment through something that yahoo is doing with dropbox that allows large files to be sent. But I guess they don't get sent as attachments because I got an email from the NVC today saying that there was no attachment sent to them.

WHAT DO I DO. This is really driving me crazy. If anyone has gone through electronic processing please HELP ME. I need your wisdom and advice to get through this.

I want to be over with this but it seems like I never will. I want to not have anymore of this stress on me because I am leaving to see my husband in the beginning of June.

I don't have much time left. :help: :help:

Is it a scanned item? Could you change your settings to make the scan take less size and then be able to mail it that way? Maybe use like a lower setting or a black and white setting for documents so the file is not as large?

rescan to PDF or JPG formats and they will be much smaller.

get to an office service center, and have them scan it.

USUALLY, they can scan to PDF file, about 35 to 70 kilobytes per page.

IMO, you have the wrong gear OR you aren't tweaking yer settings OR you have the wrong software.

Are you scanning each page one at a time? There is a setting where you can scan one page after another PDF file and it would count as one attachment instead of many pages which will not all fit in the email. Good luck!

Adobe acrobat (full version) has a reduce file size option. I had to use it on both my aos and iv packages.

Each package also need to be in one PDF not multiple. (one for aos and one for iv)

I'll try to rescan it in a way that it won't take up a lot of space. Thanks.

I've already sent my IV package. Nothing wrong there because they haven't sent me an email

But thanks so much guys, I really appreciate that you're taking time out of your day to help me.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, and a million more thank yous
