so it dont matter if it is printed or not? cuz I heard it has to be printed on the pictures

I submitted mine with the dates just written on the back. There were no issues.

ok with the photos I can figure it out now...

but the G325A... they just told him (to the USC) to fill out the G325A and for him to sign it.. so I guess they only want his biographical info.....not mine (the benificiary)... agghhh I am hopping...

Unless requirements have changed since we went filed last year, they want BOTH of you to fill out SEPARATE G-325a forms dated and signed. That's what we did.

As far as pictures, make sure of the exact wording of the RFE and maybe someone here can help you figure out what is needed.

About the repetitiveness of the G-Form, if I remember it correctly, "back in the days" where we didn't have the internet, didn't have Visa Journey, and didn't have PDF fillable-form, the INS (yup, no the USCIS) will give you a G-form with all four pages carbon-copy style. So where you fill out the form on the first page, it will carbon-copy the information down to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th page, include your Signature. That's why it was never an issue for those older folks to forget signing all 4 pages

If I remember correctly... someone confirm...

About the photos: Echoing everyone - write the date when it was taken, approximation is ok, make sure your beneficiary can explain to them later when/where/who/what/why/how that picture to come about. They want to see your love story and that is one of the evidence where they try to piece your story together. No worry OK! You will get aproved. Can you feel the POWER of VJ Love?

thanks guys...

yeah.. I went to a photo studio to see if they could put dates on my pictures...and they had no idea what I was talking about....so I hope writing the dates on the back of the pictures will be alright

So feeling the knife turning in my stomach as I know I followed the directions perfectly. I went to go read these are the exact instruction:

Give USCIS a passport-style color photograph ofyourself and a passport-style color photograph of yourfiancé(e), with both photos taken within 30 days of thedate of filing this petition. The photos must have awhite background, be glossy, un-retouched and notmounted. The dimension of the full frontal facialimage of you and your fiancé(e) in separate photosshould be about one inch from your chin to the top ofyour hair in 3/4 frontal view. Using a pencil or feltpen, lightly print the name (and Alien RegistrationNumber, if known) on the back of each photograph.

So the instructions never specifically say to date them as they are technically attached to the G-325a and also are part of the I-129F package. So I think some of us are freaking out for no reason.

Yes, but they ask for recent pictures, taken within few months (I forget how long exactly). How else would you prove they're recent unless you date them on the back? But I don't see a reason for you to freak out...

[ramos96 1]

Not our problem as the Filers, if they wanted it dated they should have specified that in the instructions given. I will argue it with them if it happens that there are not any instructions to date the photos and that they need to read their own form. I think what has happened is that people have done anything they have been asked for without questioning them back and that is not what our country is founded on. We as Americans and Citizens are allowed to question and correct our government, but a lot of people have forgotten that.

So to be blunt yah I'm going to tell them read your form, it was followed correctly if I get an RFE for this.

Are they digital pictures? You can even use photoshop to add dates, if you really think you want the dates printed.

Take a thick permanent black marker and write the dates on the back of each picture.

Put the pictures in a small plastic ziploc bag and write the words "Photos of XXX and XXX" on the outside of the plastic bag with the same thick permanent black marker.

BTW - Passport photos do not require dates on the back - the only requirement is that they are photos from the last 30 days.

just to be on the safe side, i would put names of whoever were on the picture, when it was taken and where the location was. just my 2 cents. cover all your bases....

Confusing huh?

Here is what I did...

Passport Photos: Write your name, DOB, SSN (USC only) on the back of photos for you and her/him

Evidence Photos: Write a little note: Picture was taken on MM-DD-YYYY and where. Printing Digital photos, print with DATE where you can.
