Beginning I-129F with 25 pics and PO box address for Fiance?

[Jon9205 1]

I just came back from a 15 day trip to meet my fiance w/plane tickets and passport stamps, hundreds of pages of skype and yahoo messenger conversations, a divorce document from my lawyer with some stamp( but I'm uncertain whether the CO will accept it because it is on my lawyers letter head, not a formal county document). I took lots of photo's but could only identify 25 pics of us together that looked presentable(I'm terrible at taking pictures) but each photo is a different day at different locations in the country. I have lots of shots of us separately at the same locations, are those pics admissible? I'm reading posts stating I should have 75 pics?

Regarding my Fiance, I forgot to get her signatures for the letters, forms and passport photo which means I have to have her snail mail me the documents (I really dropped the ball on not having those documents prepared for my trip). Her work history and address is complicated. She has several years working as an official taxpayer and then pursued but did not complete college and attempted to start her own business which did not generate income. She does not receive mail at her physical address and uses a PO Box (which is normal for Ghana), will the PO Box be ok for the forms?

If I can generate the funds, I will be going back in 6 weeks but If I can't, I will have to resort to filing with what I have. After I get the signed documents and photos from my fiance, will I have enough to submit my application or should I wait till I can afford a second trip and gather more evidence?

There is no photo amount requirement, 25 is more than enough when you have pages of other physical evidence. Make sure you include all passport stamps and travel documents.

Inky is correct, travel docs are as important as pictures.

I scanned (in color) my travel documents (boarding passes/passport/etc). Then created a Word file for Part B, Question 18 to show the email & chat logs, photos & travel documents.

To make it easy for the reviewer, I used the footer to describe what I was showing on each page. On passport stamps and boarding passes I highlighted the dates. Under each picture I named everyone and their relation to me or my girlfriend.

The quality of your smile is unimportant but they must clear, correctly exposed photos of your faces. A picture with sunglasses and a hat shading your face, from the sun, is not a picture to include even it is the 'best' photo. Photos with both of you with parents/family are the best.

Ignore the pictures of you/her shot separately.

My packet had 7 pictures, 1 for each visit. Two pictures included parents and two included friends.

For the address. Put "See Attachment" in the Street and Number box. On the attachment list, and clearly identify, the mailing and physical addresses.

Thanks for the feedback. I do have a lot of pictures wearing sunglasses and one picture is a bit blurry so I will reconsider submitting them. If I send a hard copy of my chat logs it will require a very big envelope, possibly as small box. Is this necessary for the I-129F or do I submit chat logs at interview only? And my Fiance's address is a PO box, we don't know the street name of where she lives, just the city and the area. I have been to her house and there are no street signs, as was the norm everywhere I went in Ghana.
