How To Submit Your Domicile Evidence?

[OrihimeandIchigo 216]

Hello everyone. To everyone that's the petitioner living abroad with their spouse the beneficiary. I would love to hear from you, and how you went about this and your experience.

 

Im at the NVC stage and next I need to submit my domicile evidence but im confused on how to go about formatting and uploading everything. Besides the domicile cover letter I've got over 30 items of evidence. Do I bundle all the evidence into one big PDF if it will fit? Or just submit every document one by one with it's own file? 

 

Thanks so much

Is there no one on this forum who has uploaded Domicile Evidence before that's willing to share their experiences?

I have, but haven't received an answer from NVC yet so I do not believe I'm qualified to give advice. FWIW, I uploaded a cover letter (with category "other"), in which I numbered all the domicile evidence 1,2,3,... Then, I uploaded each piece of evidence separately, and made sure the filename began with the corresponding item number ("1_bank_account.pdf", "2_brokerage_account.pdf", etc.).

I have submitted only one bank statement as domicile evidence and got accepted. But if you want to submit  several evidences, you can combine them as one file (pdf)  in adobe acrobat. Good luck.

Given the 2MB limitation, that isn't feasible if more than a few documents are necessary, and/or if any of them are scans.

This is true, so I guess what I'll do is just number each document and upload them separately. Thanks for for your help 😊

You’re right it shouldn’t be over 2 mb but you have some options to shrink the big size in to smaller. .. *you can lower dpi on your scanner setting before  you scan it. The other option is...

1. Open the PDF you wish to optimize.
2. Choose Document—> Optimize Scanned PDF. . .
3. The Optimize Scanned Image window appears.
4. Choose the appropriate level of compression and click ok.            .....if you guys don’t have adobe you can access the free trial I think that lasts 2 weeks.
