question about copies - I-129F

I have a question about the copies to submit with the I-129F. I am doing my paperwork for to finish the I.129F.

I scanned all the documents (passports, email, boarding pass...) in a JPG after that in a file word I added them as pictures and at the bottom of each page I describe what is that. The size of them should be a little bit smaller than the original. (look the attack file for to understand better). Do you think that it will be a problem?
the istruction in the official webside says that:


Copies. You should submit legible photocopies of documents requested, unless the Instructions specifically state that you
must submit an original document. USCIS may request an original document at the time of filing or at any time during
processing of an application, petition, or request. If USCIS requests an original document from you, it will be returned to
you after USCIS determines it no longer needs your original.

We also created a Word document but just for the proof of relationship.

We put about 3 or 4 pictures per page (scanned individually and properly resized so they wouldn't be too small nor too big), and we wrote a caption next to each one of them, including date, place, names of people in the pictures and a small description of the situation.

 

We included a copy of all pages of his passport and also a copy of his birth certificate (front and back) to prove his American citizenship, but those were regular copies and did not need a caption.

I did the same, I am only worry that they don't have exactly size as the originals (expecially for documents as boarding passes or passport). the istructions say to include photocopy...

I am overthinking... the problem is that they are not exact size of the original, they are a bit smaller

Trust me, if they want original sizes, theyll send an RFE for it lol

 

if thats what you sent, nothing you can do now. im sure its fine though. ust keep the originals just in case .

 

its so easy to over analyze during this process (im guilty too)

Mine was all adjusted to the page, did not affect the process. If you’re worried just take copies of boarding passes separately instead of scans and write each copy an explaination and date in addition.
