Compress PDFs for a Green Card Application
Green card applications require evidence such as passports, certificates, financial documents, and forms, uploaded through USCIS online accounts. Scanned evidence often exceeds the per-file limit.
USCIS online filing commonly accepts PDF attachments up to 12MB per file. FitMyPDF lets you target a safe size and confirm readability before filing.
While using the browser tool, your PDF is processed locally in your browser. Pick a target within the limit, then preview so names, dates, and stamps stay clear.
