[Annon_ 0]

Hi, im filling out the i-864 form (affadavit of support) on my computer, but some of the fields dont have space for me to type everything, for example i am putting the primary applicatns daytime phone number but its an international number so it wont fit in the space given. What should i do

Print it, fill out by hand (I had to do this because my husband's phone # was also too long) then scan and upload to CEAC.

 

Also make sure to put a - or write "NA" in and fields that don't apply. Otherwise they could reject it for incompletion.

Ok so we tried this also, but then the file was too big after we scanned. They require 2 MB and this ended up like 13 MB. When i compress the file, it becomes unreadable. I also scanned low resolution, no luck. How did u manage to upload urs? Thanks!

Hmmm...that's strange. I used the I-864EZ which is a few pages less than the regular I-864. So I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it or not...hopefully someone else can chime in who's run into a similar issue.

I used I-864 and I had no issue with scanner low's resolution setting (I do not remember what it was but probably 72-96 dpi).

 

You may try the 30 days trial version of Bluebeam® Revu® - it offers the Process feature to reduce the file size (Menu / Document / Process / Reduce File Size)
