I-129F mailed but we forgot to include photos

[Dan and Ali 3]

Hi there -- just looking for some advice and possible some reassurance in regards to the I-129F petition my fiance and I submitted. We followed the great guide on this website and I thought that we'd done everything required ... but I realised that we forgot to include one thing that it seems everyone else has: photos to support the fact that we've met in the last two years. I don't mean the passport style photo ... we included those, but we didn't include any photos of us together! My fiance and I currently live together (in Canada; he has dual citizenship) and we included plenty of information as far as passport stamps, boarding passes, itineraries, etc but no photos. I don't know why we didn't include photos - a completely silly oversight, I guess I'm just wondering if there's any way I can submit photos after the petition has already been mailed, or do we just wait for the denial or the RFE? Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Mail them if they ask for them.

Otherwise, bring them ALL to the interview if you pass that part.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it - I've never seen an RFE nor Denial because someone didn't send in vacation photos.

You included the most important stuff: primary evidence (passport stamps, boarding passes, etc.). Fear not.

Wow, that makes me feel so much better, thank you! I'm thinking they should be able to figure out that we've met (considering the fact that we live together, not to mention our passport photos were taken at the same place and time and stamped with location/date stamps!) but still, I'm worrying. I feel a lot better now, though. Thanks again!

i had not also sent them these things - they sent a RFE to me which asked for proof of relationship.

I wouldnt' worry about it. I'm sure what you did send will work for them. If not, they'll send a request for more information.

And like others have mentioned, just bring them with you to the interview when it comes time. I sent in a bunch of photos and they gave them all back to me at my interview, so I think all of our other documentation must've sufficed.

Hi! I filed an I-130 for my husband, and sent in a photo book done at a camera store with a ton of pics together from all our trips. They sent it right back to me the day they opened up my package. I worried that they now have no photos, but realized there was nothing I could do about it! I called USCIS and was told that it was strange that they sent it back. Oh well! Don't worry either!
