HOW TO UPLOAD ATTACHMENTS FOR I-130 (merged topics)

[irkas94 0]

Hello everyone~

 

Ad the time to upload our online I-130 is approaching, I found myself wondering on the proper way to upload all PDF forms for our bona fide proof.

 

We have a lot of PDF to prove our marriage and Here are some ways to upload them.

Please help choose which one of the following looks/sounds correct to follows:

 

OPTION A: upload all documents separate in each PDF:

1. Previous apt lease

2. Current apt lease

3. Bank transaction

4. PDF of the Cover Letter with photos

5. Letter of support from friend A

6.  Letter of support from friend B

7.  Letter of support from friend C

8. Health Insurance card with name of a spouse and beneficiary

9. Power of Attorney for Year-end tax

 

OPTION B: put each PDF as a category:

1. Both Leaves in one PFT: previous apt lease + current apt lease

2. ALL Letters of Support as one PDF

3. Health Insurance card and Power of Attorney for Year-end tax

 

or another way not mentioned above?
 

Thank you all~ 

Hope this thread helps others too.

I can't answer the proper way to upload (others who have done are better qualified).  However, I will say this, get rid of items 5-7; these items are not required to begin with and carry little to zero weight in the overall evaluation of the file.  Your other items of evidence are fine.

We uploaded everything separately. I think it's also easier for USCIS and for you to figure out which document they'd like to have more information about if you get an RFE.

Hello, I ran into some doubts, me and my husband (US citizen) are both living in Korea and applying online for I-130.

In the part where it asks us to upload photos, i don't understand why it says:

 

Quote

Also, include an image of the back of the photograph with your name and A-Number written in pen or pencil.

 

So, since we have our photos only digitally, does that mean we have to print also the photo, sign, upload again? Also, we don't have A-number.

 

Thank you

I assume you are pasting the photos on an applications like Word or PP, so I would simply add a caption under the photos with your name and A-Number before you save it as a PDF. 

 

Good Luck!

OP doesn't have an A-Number yet when applying for an immigrant visa for the first time. She's talking about the passport-style photos.

 

@irkas94 We also filed online and it's okay if you don't have an A-Number from a previous visa yet. I would print out your individual digital photo, write your name on the back, then scan (or photograph) that and put both pictures (front and back) together in one single PDF and upload it. That's how we did it.

Upload separately.

 

No one wants to go through a single PDF to look for one item.

I was going to upload the jpg file that was sent to me by the photographer with correct measurement, but i qonder if it is in pdf would that beat the whole purpose of making in 2by2

You can also use jpg, of course. I had the option of saving the picture as a PDF instead of jpg and it didn't change measurements. When I scanned the front and back, it just added the back as a 2nd page of the PDF file, so both pictures were still 2x2.
