Scanning documents for NVC

[TatevQA 0]

Dear all, 

 

I am preparing the documents for the family-based immigration. Currently we need to scan all of the sponsors’ financial documents and our civil documents. I heard a lot of info on the importance of choosing the right orientation (landscape/portrait) for docs. Can anyone share tips? 
 

Also, specifically for documents smaller than A4 format, like passport - should I crop the original scan to leave the document only (with all edges visible). Or is it ok to leave them against them in the original A4 format with a lot of white background. 
 

Thank you!

We scanned in real size, didnt crop, didn’t reformat.

What's more important is that they are clear/easy to read, in the correct file format (pdf or jpg/jpeg), and the right file size.
