photos without date printed on them

[apgk 0]

With my (seemlingly stupid) Fuji digital camera, I cant seem to print the photos with date printed on them. (There is some DPOF option to write the date but for that you need DPOF compatible printers and no retail stores tartget, walmart etc know about all this). So my photo prints dont have date on them.

I am planning to write the date, place, and names on the back of each photo? Is this safe enough and acceptable?

ps:

On the other hand, these days with digital prints, you can pretty much put anything on them using the PC software. So I cant imagine this being a huge problem

Thinking the instructions say to write dates, names and places on all photos, have your checked out the questions and answer section along with the instruction part of all of this? You can probably find alot of the questions/answers on there, good luck

i wrote the names, dates etc on the back of all my photos in black ink and I received my K-1 within 3 months of filing. I dont think it matters at all really.

I sent in about 20 photos without writing anything on the back of it. I got approved in 15 days. I guess it depends on who is reviewing your case.

I wrote down dates and a little caption at the back of our photos that didn't have date printed.

aagoes is right, it all depends on who will review your case. Don't worry about pictures too much since it's only a secondary evidence...

I also wrote the names, places, and dates on the backs with black ink -as suggested. Photo shop makes the date on the pic less valid I guess.

You can also put them(d pictures) in the coupon bond. 6-8 pages and put some captions. Believe me during my interview the consul had liked it...he just look into the pictures and read my captions with dates...he smiled....write some plans there..like wedding plans...what u r doing in the picture..it will give time for the consul and u to relax..put some stickers if u want... then have all the pages stapled not individually.

I wrote names, dates, and locations on the back of my photos and all went well.

Really? I had put our photos together in scrapbook fashion with a little note to the consul since I can't be there, but took it out thinking they wouldn't like it. I think I'll put it back together real fast.

I only sent 6 pictures with my I-129F application. Each picture had our names, date, and location written on the back.

For the interview I've made a scrapbook (which is not too long). I'm please with the outcome, and even if the consular doesn't look at it (I'll be attending the interview with my fiance) it's a great memoir for us.

I made it more for us than for the interview but it's "proof".

You are supposed to write them on the back in pencil.

Mine where date stamped.. but I still put Names and which visit.. like Visit 1 April 2006 plus I made sure at least 2 pictures had a monument or some other landmark to prove I was in Moldova.. maybe not needed but it made me feel better that I'm covering more bases..or objections/RFE's

I didn't. I used a fine line black sharpie pen. Some photo paper doesn't show pencil really good. Anyways, this is what we did and we were approved.

From the VJ guides:

2.Color Photos of you and your fiance(e) together. Make sure you write your names, date, and location on the back of every photo. Provide two to five photo's. If you only have a single copy of the photo, then make a color copy and send that. If it is a digital photo, have it printed at a company such as ofoto.com. You can also make duplicates of photo's at your local photo store (Walgreeens, CVS, etc). Place photo's in a plastic bag or photo sheet and label the sheet. Note that you may not receive originals of photo's back.

It's totally fine to hand write the details on the back of photos. I did that and my visa was accepted.

Photos are secondary (visual ) evidence. Dates are no big deal. It is just to prove you met. All other evidence you turn in will have dates for verification (plane ticket, receipts, letters, phone records, etc.). Just make sure you make the packet look neat with dividers, index tabs, and all on a ACCO fastener. You'll do fine.
