Merge Documents for Immigration Submission
Compile your visa evidence, financial proofs, and identity documents into a single, organized PDF packet for USCIS, IRCC, or Home Office uploads.
Organizing Evidence for Your Visa or Green Card
Immigration applications are paperwork-heavy. Whether you are filing an I-130 petition for a relative, applying for Canadian Permanent Residency (Express Entry), or submitting a UK Student Visa application, you need to provide substantial evidence.
Online portals like myUSCIS or the IRCC secure account often limit the number of files you can upload for a specific category. For example, under "Proof of Relationship," you might only have one upload slot. If you have 20 photos, a lease agreement, and joint bank statements, you cannot upload them one by one. You must combine them into a single, cohesive PDF file.
The Importance of a Well-Ordered Packet
Immigration officers review thousands of cases. A disorganized application can lead to delays or Requests for Evidence (RFEs). By merging your documents into a logical order, you make the officer's job easier, which can only help your case.
Recommended Order for Evidence Packets:
- Table of Contents (Optional but helpful): A simple page listing what is in the file.
- Primary Evidence: The most strong proof (e.g., Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificate).
- Supporting Financials: Joint bank statements, tax returns.
- Supporting History: Photos, chat logs, travel itineraries.
Privacy is Critical for Immigration Data
Your immigration file contains your entire life history: Social Security Numbers, addresses, family details, and financial data. Using a standard "free online PDF merger" that uploads your files to a cloud server is a significant privacy risk.
Our tool is engineered with privacy as the core feature. All merging happens inside your web browser. The code runs on your device, stitching the files together without ever sending them to us. It works just like desktop software, but without the need to install anything.
Tips for Successful Uploads
- File Size: After merging, check the file size. USCIS often has a 6MB or 12MB limit per file. If your merged PDF is too big, use our "Compress PDF" tool afterwards.
- Legibility: Ensure that all text is clear. If you scanned documents, make sure they aren't too dark or blurry.
- Orientation: Ensure all pages are upright. Use our "Rotate PDF" tool if some scans are sideways.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I merge PDF and JPG files?
This tool merges PDFs. If you have JPG scans of evidence, use our 'JPG to PDF' tool first to convert them, and then merge the resulting PDFs here.
Does USCIS accept merged PDFs?
Yes, for online filing (e.g., I-130), USCIS allows you to upload evidence. It is often better to upload one organized file (e.g., 'Bona_Fide_Marriage_Evidence.pdf') than 20 separate photos.
Is it safe to upload my passport copy here?
Yes. Our unique browser-based technology ensures that your file is processed on your own computer. We do not upload your sensitive identity documents to our servers.
