I-130 Help (Do I send in photos now?)

[psychocis 0]

Hello Everyone,

I'm and newbie and getting ready to send in my I-130. After numerous hours of research, I'm still not sure if I send in wedding pictures as an additional attached document with the I-130. Does anyone know a definite answer?

Help much appreciated.

I'm a newbie too, but from doing my reasearch I've learned that photos are very good evidence of a bona fide relationship.

yes, send a couple now (i sent maybe 5) and then later you will also bring some to the interview (the most important part for the visa!)

No definite answer. We send 2 pics of the wedding for the initial petition. My wife had 40 captioned pictures for the interview. 10 pages with 4 on each page.

Made it thru without problems.

I was under the impression you need to send original and notarized copies of everything from old divorce decrees, birth place certificates, and the marriage certificates rather than copies. Also I noticed that you were approved very fast.. Is this the new norm nowadays? The timeline shortened up or did you file expedite?

No, you only send copies to USCIS (as these are not returned) you will need originals/certified copies for the NVC (these are returned at interview).

Uscis seem to have speeded up since February especially at CSC.

That's right, you need to send only photocopies to USCIS, and later, after you get a case number assigned, at the NVC stage - you send originals and certified copies of requested documents. As about the pics, you should send some from few different places, photos taken at different times. We sent about 20 pages with copies of photos and explanation under each one when and where the photo was taken, and who is on the picture

Have a safe journey

Haole, this one's for you:

Help much appreciated.

I've been wondering about photos a lot myself seeing some people on the forum going into the interview with 350 - which is great for those of you that did it! 40 seems more like my style. I'm wondering though, what they were of? - just the wedding or time before, after the wedding, etc? What did you include? You also said 10 pages with 4 on each, so was this made just for the interview - it wasn't part of a scrapbook that you made for yourselves? I'm wondering if it's bad to look like you make a small photoalbum just for the consul because that's what I'm doing, but I don't know if I want to try to make it look like that's not what I'm doing. Was it just on regular sheets of paper of bound together in some way? Sorry for so many questions, but if sounds like you have the same type of thinking as I about photos.

Thanks a bunch!
