USCIS Filing Online - Simple Uploading Questions

[bandj_journey 8]

Just a couple of really simple questions for the team here. I'm only asking because I haven't yet initiated the filing process online, and we have not utilized it before as it was not an option before.

 

1. When submitting proof the I-751 along with proof of bona fide relationship, will we be asked to upload a SINGLE pdf document? Or is there capability to upload multiple PDF documents?

2. When using the online process, will I have opportunities to fix mistakes before I submit, or is it one long process? (I.E., is there the ability to save progress, log out, and come back in to finish before submitting?)

 

Thanks for the insight!

Thread is moved from the K-1 Process forum to the Removing Conditions forum -- OP is at that stage.

Hi!

1. Yes you can submit multiple pdfs for evidence!

2.Yes you can save and come back to it!

It's all quite a smooth process and intuitive.

@FromTheHills one other question: do you recall if there's a PDF MB file size limit per file to upload? Thanks!

Ok I answered my own last question: Files must not be larger than 12MB in size.

I found the answer here:

Step 6: Upload evidence.

As part of the application process, you may need to provide evidence when you file to support your application, petition, or request. These documents help us evaluate your form and verify information you have provided.

Use these tips when uploading evidence:

• Use a scanner or take pictures of each document. Make sure each image you attach is clear and that all text is readable.
• Files must not be larger than 12MB in size.
• Files must be in one of these formats: PDF, JPG, or JPEG. For some forms, we also accept files in TIF or TIFF format.
• Do not encrypt or password protect your files.
• If your documents are in a foreign language, upload a certified English translation in addition to the original.
• If we require passport-style photos, you must either scan them or take a picture with your phone.

Use SmallPDF.com -- a wonderful site that I wish I'd found years ago.  Compress anything, convert one format to another, etc.

We just submitted our I-751.   

 

We were able to add all the evidence online prior to submitting.  You can start this before the 90 day window opens, just can't pay and submit it until the 90 day window begins.   

 

We could also just add and delete any evidence that we had uploaded without any issues, multiple times, as long as you did not let your application sit idle for more than 30 days.  You can also delete the whole application and re-start later. 

 

It does a validity check on the I-751 pdf itself.   So to give it a quick check before we finalized it, we uploaded the actual I-751 app to validate it.   Then we deleted it.  But that was a mistake because it also deleted all the uploaded evidence files.

 

For the photos, we had to break it up into 2 PDF's to keep it below the 12MB file limit.
