We have been together for 6 years and married for 4 years. We sent pictures with the I-485. We have thousands of pictures. 2 questions..Can we bring an I-pad device to show pictures? Do we need to go to the expense of printing out more pictures? We have hardly been separated in 6 years as evidenced by our passports stamps.

Probably not. But to stay on the safe side what I would do is either print a dozen of fresh pics on plain paper via your home color printer. Or I would order some professional shooting for the wall ornament of our pictures and bring the sample pictures for the interview - they will only take one or two, if any.

Then your expenses would be not specifically for the interview, but for home decor.

But your passport stamps can't be the good proof of not being separated.

I would prefer printing them out. We printed ours about close to 60 prints and after the officer saw the abundance of photographs from different years, he approved us on the spot! It's better that way. At least theyd think youd spend so much time and effort for the interview. You've already reach this far, why not take the extra mile?

I sent to the USCIS over 100 pics when we filed the case and brought another 50 to the interview just to be given back the ones I had sent on step one and never be asked for any other evidence. My experience would tell me not to bring anything if I had to repeat the interview, but I would still bring them just in case they ask me for anything else. Good luck! :D

Im still assembling the AOS package and Im going to be sending aound 20 pictures of the most important moments in our 5 years togehter. I pretend to print a similar number for the interview whenever the moment comes.

I dont think they accept Ipads or phone things....as same as videos or CD's. ( I have a bunch of videos even more than pictures we are not great at taking pictures) So I would really print a few if I was you better be prepared than be sorry

We sent around 15 with our initial package. Then we brought around 30 to the interview, and weren't even asked for them. We just gave them an updated statement of our joint accounts and a lease application in both our names.

No iPads or phones, from what I've been reading, they aren't allowed into the USCIS buildings, and definitely weren't at ours (we left that stuff in the car so we wouldn't have to worry about it).

Ipads and phones were allowed at our location. I didn't send any pictures with my application and only took about 10 to the interview.
