I did. Highlighted the names. Just make sure you you can make a copy and it doesnt block that hilighted area, most shouldn't though.

[David-and-Mae 15]

I did too... Names, address, important information...

Wrong question.

If you are not sure whether or not you should run a red light when driving, would you ask others:

1) who of you ran a red light?

or would you ask:

2) is its okay to run red light?

There you go.

To answer the question you failed to ask:

No, do not use a highlighter, and no, do not run a red light, no matter how many people got away with it.

I did but very minimal. Names and dates on only few important/confusing documents.

[Dakine 26]

YEP! Especially in larger documents like my will, insurance and deed that were multiple pages and lots of legal BS.

[mozplay 29]

Yup.

I did not highlight, because I figured if they scan the documents anywhere, highlighting makes that area come out all black. Instead of standing out, it would become un-readable.

It doesnt become black when scanned, as long as you use a regular yellow highlighter, so it's safe to use if you want to point some things out, like your joint address, and both names on bills, for example.

To Just_Bob: While not required, the original poster CAN use the highlighter, like many of us have, if he/she wants to, there's no reason not to use it unless you can point us to the directions where it specifically says that highlighters are not allowed. And I didn't see where the OP asked for your input on question asking technique.

I did with yellow highlighter to make it easier for the person who is reviewing my file. I highlighted names, addresses and dates on bank statements, flight itineraries and other joint account documents, as well as some separate accounts that arrive on same address.

Just exactly what I did on mine... I even encircled the stamps on our passports since it was mixed along with other stamps from past trips.

Mike,

yes, you are absolutely correct: everybody can use a highlighter, run a red traffic light, or rape a child. No argument here. I just said one should not do it, not even in your home country, but you are welcome to do as you please.

Doesnt that "Do NOT “highlight” or “background shade” entries" refer to the IMMIGRATION FORMS?! The OP and VJ'ers who responded where talkin about highlighting the documents they submitted.
