uploading tax return on ceac problem

[Fayaz & Rabia 0]

Dear all,

We are in the NVC stage and uploading docs to CEAC. Our joint sponsors tax return is 60 page long and contains 1040 along with schedules and worksheets , we are unable to compress it below 2mb even after multiple compressions. The CEAC website does provide option to upload federal tax schedules separately , so can we upload the 1040 and tax schedule separately, also we'll be uploading W2's for 3 years , bank statement and letter of employment.

 

note:we have 3 years tax returns and (the transcripts are not available with the joint sponsor)

 

Please help

Work sheets not required.  Upload W2, 1040, and all schedules.

should I upload 1040+tax schedule together as a single doc or separately as the CEAC has a provision for FEDERAL TAX SCHEDULE

For the size issue, start over scanning at a lower resolution.

If there is a provision for it and it solves your problem, just do it.

@TBoneTX thanks for the suggestion, but we have tried that and myriad other compressing applications but to no avail ....
