ORIGINAL POSTER
I am having some difficulty uploading bank statements on my NON-0 visa app. Does anyone know if they will accept just the first page or do they want the entire statement?

When I try to upload entire statement PDF file seems to big.

Also, does anyone know if a drivers license alone is enough to submit for proof of residency or do they want utility bills as well?

Thanks for any advice, if you have experience with this.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is having trouble uploading bank statements for their NON-O visa application, seeking advice on whether just the first page of the statement is sufficient or if the entire document is needed. They also inquire if a driver's license suffices for proof of residency or if utility bills are necessary. Various community members suggest using PDF compression tools to manage file size and confirm that a driver's license has been accepted in some instances as sufficient proof.

Sometimes taking screenshots of what you are sending and sending the screenshots instead will lower the file size enough on documents and pictures.

Hi Linda, if you go to a website like Ilovepdf and choose the ‘compress’ option - you can upload your PDF and it will reduce the size of it - this should help you upload the entire statement hopefully
