Hi everyone,

Hope you're having a great Friday evening. I'm putting my documents together to send to my fiance for his interview. I made quite a few copies of pictures of the two of us together. What is the appropriate number of pictures to send? I don't want to send so many that I annoy the embassy, but yet I want to send enough for them to know that we've spent lots of time together. How many have other people sent to their fiances to take to the interview? Thanks in advance for your advice!

10 pages with 4 pictures per page with captions printed on bond paper worked for us.

The CO and the IOs we had at the interviews sure liked looking at our pictures!

That's about all they checked out.

I showed 3, he took one.

You can take as many as you want to.

Itz not about quantity, but quality. Categories of FAMILY/ COUPLE/ MARRIAGE PROPOSAL. Smiles and loving fotos are important. Pics are worth 1000 words. What words are your pics saying?? :whistle:

Ours was a nice one sitting on the sofa.

Unless you've got a complicated case or the beneficiary isn't an UK born citizen, the USE doesn't really give much of a rats behind about any of that and mostly cares about the affidavit of support. Take a couple if you'd like...but if you read the interview reviews, people aren't asked to see evidence of a relationship nearly all the time.

For London interview - - ZERO pictures.

They don't want any proof of your relationship. They want proof of your ability to be financially sponsored (I-134), proof of criminal free background (police report and court records if arrested before), and proof that you are free of disease and mentally sound (medical exam).

Read the IV-15 checklist. That all they want. It doesn't mention bringing photo albums, love letters, etc.

I dunno, lol. You seem to post a lot in this board and give out information that might be appropriate for the Philippines, but not for the UK. :innocent:

Wow, thanks for all the responses. Think I'll go ahead and send pictures just in case, also sending proof of relationship as per the guides. If they don't ask for them fine, at least we've covered ourselves ya know? Thanks again everyone!

A good thing to do would be to take a couple of pictures to fill in the gap between when you filed your petition and now. Phone records, a few emails, print outs of photos, a few envelopes he's received from you (dates are stamped on them) ... handy to have just in case.

Always plan for the worst case scenario. Chances are that you will not be asked for evidence, but it would stink if you were and you didn't have anything, IMO.
