I scanned passport,、marriage certifcate and police clearance certificate、birth certificate and DS-230 to be PDF. Every page is 24M.too big.I have 25pages for all.Can i just send them as JPG format?I can make it smaller as JPG.Not PDF.

File must be sent in PDF format. What you need to do is find a computer with the full version of Acrobat or an equivalent program that will enable you to reduce the size of the file.

Also can i send them from my email.(beneficary)

i suggest, instead, getting:

1. cutepdf

2. irfanview

then you can load up a jpg file in irfanview

then print to pdf and tweak the settings for output.

this intermediate step of using word to 'place' jpg files - you will lose space round the borders.


I created a word document with all of the requested information in the requested language(s), numbered as in the original, plus a title in exactly the same format as the original, and a signature and date line. I printed it out, had my wife sign and date it, then scanned it into PDF format.

OK - but I think that was overkill.

It can be printed in China, hand filled in China, scanned in China, emailed from China to you.

copy shops abound, a copy shop could have handled this in about 20 minutes (or less)

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

!!!!!!Hi need your help badly. I know you can help!!!!!!

After getting the marriage certificate notarized from Gong Zheng Chu(公证处), did you need to go through the Chinese foreign affairs department and then the US ambassy in China before sending to NVC?

there is a chinese marriage book, a red book, similar to passport size.

That red book is taken to a notarial translation office, and they translate from chinese into english, and bind it all up in a white book.

However, the white book is very specific.. I'm going to check your other topic, and see if you answered my question there. ;)

Darnell,

Just to confirm, there is no need to go through the Chinese foreign affairs and the US ambassy in China, right? The white book from the notarial office is enough?
