Can I send photo copies of photo's or do they have to be originals?

Just a quick question,

I am filing for the I-129F For the K1 Fiancee Visa. I need to provide them with details of our meeting along with proof or documents of relationship. I have a number of pictures to send, however some of them are my only copies which I would not want to lose. Is it ok if I photo copy some instead of sending my single original copies? Or should I only send originals?

Thanks so much

Photos are considered secondary evidence.... I printed the digital images on 8.5 x 11 paper... 4 to a page

I understand your concern, but I would recommend they be printed. For example my photos were all on my computer so I just had them printed through Walgreens. I wouldn't recommend copying them on a copy machine or something like that, so go to Walgreens or a photo shop and scan the picture and reprint a new one. That would be the best, and you get to keep the photos because you will also need those for your interview, but they will be getting a photo that isn't just copied!

Are they old fashioned film copies? All the picture I took from the beginning were with a digital camera so there is no such thing as an "original photo". If you have a film photo, do you not have a negative and a print? With negatives you can have more prints made. If you only have the original paper print, and no negative, you could have it scanned and then you have a digital copy which you can print as many times as you want.

I submitted prints which I made on my personal color printer with glossy paper. I simply plugged in the camer memory stick and printed 4x6 photo's that look same as the old fashioned kind you got from the photo developers. Thats what I sent. Labeled the backs of them with dates, names and locations.

Copies of photos are OK, in fact many professional visa services prefer to do it that way. Just make sure they are clear. You can put several photos on a page.
