It depends on a country specific consulate. I know Mumbai Consulate in India does give passport and visa back to local VFS office on the same day after 4:00pm local time. I recommend to check your country specific consulate.

Thanks to BIT (woo!), I was able to get my file compressed. It came in at 23.2MB, and that was after scanning only in greyscale @150DPI. Damn those tax returns!

AOS paperwork sent early this am for EP. My husband filed for his police clearance letter with his local police office in Edmonton nearly a month ago, and still hasn't gotten it back, so now we're stuck waiting for that.....argh!

Slowly moving along. Chug chug.

Wow, a month already? The agency I applied for my PCC only took a week!

Yeah, 34 days to be exact. Not a peep back. So we're just considering that money "down the tubes" and he'll head over to his local Commissionaires office in Edmonton this Friday to try again. Hopefully it'll be a fairly quick turnaround time - he's got a clean record, kind of a square really...but he's MY square!

Ok Saylin (or any other technical guru!) I need some scanning help.

I scanned in all 42 pages for the I-864, and they come to 24.6 MB. The trick is...I can't seem to get them compressed. I don't have Adobe Acrobat, and I can't download it (shared computer). I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, which does not appear to have a PDF compression method.

I did try to download a "free" PDF compression kit, but it had a virus, so yuck.

Not sure what other options there may be.

i say rescan, change the scanning resolution DOWNWARDS.

failing that, reprint to pdf (again) using cutepdf .
