Forgot to put pictures in our packet...

[Stef_and_Hallie 0]

Hi there, my fiance and I are new to this board. We recently filed for the K-1 Visa, and he forgot to include all of the photos of us together with the rest of the packet.

Naturally, I am freaking out just a little about it.

Does anyone know if this is going to really mess up the whole process for us, or should everything else we submitted be sufficient?

Also, does anyone know if there's any way we can send the photos as an addition?

Thanks!

Okay well did you include any boarding passes or passport stamps showing you visited each other/met in person? That may hold them off but I'm not sure, just going off everything I've read over the past month here!

In all honesty, I think the worst that could happen is they send a request for evidence in which you could then send them the photos. From what I've read that doesn't even actually add any time to the wait. But don't just send them the photos right now because they wouldn't know what to do with them. Wait for the RFE or, hopefully, just the approval

Photos are NOT primary evidence and in themselves are meaningless. If your primary evidence submitted is sufficient, this would be travel documents for one, maybe it will be ok. Likely ok? No. Likely you will get an RFE requesting additional evidence. Anything sent at this point will be sucked into the USCIS balck hole and never come out. Wait until you have an RFE (if any) and then send them in.

How long will it delay your case? Hard to say. When (if) the RFE comes, that would have been your approval. Any time after that until the approval is received, is the amount of delay.

Any old travel document?

Show me a thread where a petitioner has received an RFE for lack of photographs.

Yep... I don't think a lack of photographs should be an issue. I have read sooo many case decisions from the USCIS AAO and not one mentioned needing any or more photographs for an appeal to be sustained. If you do receive an RFE, it will be because you haven't submitted enough primary evidence. If you have submitted enough primary evidence, then you shouldn't have to rely on secondary in order to prove your case.
