Scanned I864 in NVC upload?

[Zoisdem 2]

Hello all,

Maybe a silly question, but here it is:

I have printed, signed and scanned the I864. However the Pdf file, that created from scanning all 10 pages, is 6MB. With zip, I can reduce it to maybe 5 MB. But it will not be uploaded in NVC if it is over 2 MB.

Any suggestion? How you made it?

Thanks

First, try using a scanner with lower resolution, 200 dpi or 300 dpi.  Second, print your PDF to another PDF.

 

EDIT:  For print, I mean select print, and then select PDF as your "printer"

If you filled out the I-864 digitally, you could also reduce the file size by inserting a scan of only the signature page into the digital PDF.

This is exactly what we did.  We filled out the form using a PDF editor, then replaced only the signature page with the hand-signed + scanned version.  The resulting I-864 PDF was less than 1 MB.
