How to file pictures.

[Jack88 15]

Hi community,

So as most of you might know photos of yourself and your spouse during the relationship and marriage as well as wedding photos constitute kind of a 'persuasive' type of proof of a good faith marriage. My wife and I we certainly have plenty of those. However I was wondering how did you guys approach the filing of these photos as part of your immigration file. I mean I was thinking in pasting them with paste and tape to white sheets order them in chronological segregate the ones from the wedding ceremony itself from the rest and add some subtitles when it is in order to explain who is in the photo like for instance when there are relatives and so fort, for I think this adds 'authenticity' to the file if you will.

Other people I've heard nonetheless have used the sealed envelopes from Wal-Mart itself for instance to submit the pictures, I'm not a fan of this approach for I think it does not do justice to the photos as persuasive proof of your bona fide marriage, kind of isolated them from the rest of the file and encourages the immigration officer to just 'ignore' them for the most part.

So, what do you guys think?

Thanks in advance for your answers as always!

I wrote the dates, locations, and names on the back of each photo. I then placed them in order and put them in an envelope.

We printed out our pictures for the K1 petition, AOS, and now ROC, that we sent to USCIS, with a color laser printer on plain white copy paper. We arranged them any way we liked, added subtitles and dates (as necessary). We just wanted to get our point across, in a quick and easy manner.

YMMV.

Good luck on your interview.

Best thing to do is to print them out in color on letter size 8.5" x11" copy paper. I personally enlarged my photos and had one per page, but you can probably print two on each sheet of paper. I added subtitles to the bottom of each photo.

I sent couple of pictures with AOS, one with RoC and none with N-400. Never wrote anything on them. The bunch I sent with AoS, I put the in a clear plastic bag all together.

yea we stuck all the pictures in a word doc, captioned each picture with date, time, specific location and full names of all people in the photo. nothing too fancy.

I just put a stack of pictures (Wedding mostly, but also from first meeting to all travels we had) into a foil and sent them in... I really don't think they care about it much... Llike they want evidence, I sent it in and they can flip through them as much as they want or don't want If they want to see the evidence they will look at it no matter how it was sent in
