It's me again to pester all of you awesome people with superior experience.

How should I submit my many pictures of my fiance and I together (not the passport style ones, the ones to show that we've met) with the I-129f?

I seem to remember reading that I should never put something together in such a way that they can't easily take it apart. This keeps me from gluing the pictures on paper (in case they want them separate), but I also don't want to submit them loose.

So... What I've done is to buy photo corners that people use to make scrapbooks. I can then mount two pictures per sheet of paper and they can be easily removed if necessary. I also have information about the picture (date/place taken, names of all people in photo) on the back of each photo and on the paper to the right of each photo (so they don't have to pop out each one to look at the info on the back).

Would this be okay? Did I miss something somewhere saying a different way that pictures should be prepared?

Also, I'm trying to write the names of everyone in each picture but is it necessary?

Thanks a million to everyone!!

I sumitted mine, clipped to the front of the rest of my documents. Didn't have any problems. Your idea of gluing them to a page is probably better and more convenient for the processors. - oops! - better not glue them because you are supposed to write the dates and places and names on the back.

Mine were digital images that I had on my computer so I simply used a color printer and printed 4 per page on 8.5 x 11 paper.

I submitted mine in clear plastic photo sleeves, so the picture could be seen front and back. I just wrote the names of the family members on the back of photos they were in. I didn't remember the names of all my fiancee's friends.

Sounds like your idea is sound.

I submitted 4 photos, printed from the computer, which showed date and time and photo info automatically, two photos per 8.5 x 11 page. 3 pictures were of my fiance and I together, 1 was with her sister who I also got to meet during my visit. Photos are secondary evidence, but good to include, don't feel like you need too many, a few of the two of you and others you were with are fine.

Good luck on your journey! :thumbs:

It was suggested to put all pictures in plastic bags and label them - so that's what we did. We submitted 6 pages from over the past 2 years and wrote our names, dates, and locations on each one.

We also put our passport pictures in plastic bags and I wrote our full names on those.

We then clipped them to everything else.

Don't over do the submission of many photos (which are secondary evidence), at the expense of any primary evidence.

What would be good examples of primary evidence be?

other evidence could be copies of plane tickets, boarding passes. passport stamps. hotel receipts, money exchange receipts, engagement ring receipt ( if there is one, not necessary) etc...
