In Pakistan it is very important that he bring some wedding photo's showing his wife and guests. They have used the excuse of a small wedding to deny people and I know because it was one of the reasons they used to deny my husband his visa.

Oh that's harsh. I have found pics of people who attended the wedding :). Thanks a lot for your help.

Just take some to show..what my hubby did is he printed out some then put in in a small album that can be folded..because you're going to give it to the person behind the glass using only a small hole..make a copy also of the pics that you're together before and after the wedding.

Do i need to take wedding pictures with me for interview? Also should i take some of them or complete albums? (Cuz they are very heavy).

There were like 60 people or more.Is it acceptable?

I had a home wedding by Justice of teh peace, as we did the big deal in Thailand with 350 guest there.. So I only had close friends attend here at my home, 15 people was it.. That was no issue for the interviewer.. They were definitely looking for picture though, we had about 10 with us, copies printed from digital pictures, Wal-Mart to the rescue to print them out.. That was it for that part of the evidence they were looking for... Do not worry about number of people or too many pictures....

I think for Pakistan, you do have to worry a little bit about this. Reading through the interview experiences, almost everyone gets asked this question.

If you had a grand wedding, it will be to your advantage to demonstrate that. A small private ceremony 'could' create some flags. Since we tend to have elaborate weddings, spanning over multiple days and events, it is important to show all those. It is also important to show pictures with the bride's and groom's families to demonstrate their involvement and approval. Some pictures with other guests (extended family and friends) would also be helpful. For example, did any relatives fly in for the wedding? Also include pictures in casual settings, both pre and post wedding.

All of the above may not at all be required, but help prove that the wedding was real, and not staged. At least this is what I will have my wife take to the interview.

Make sure that you know each and every person in the pictures you plan to take with you. The interviewer could ask you about them.
