You may need to upload/submit attachments to support your application. This is very simple, but you'll need to have the documents saved on your computer or on a storage device.
You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each, however, we recommend keeping files to a maximum of 5MB. The larger the file, the longer the upload time.
