How much photo evidence should I include to show my husband and I love each other? 

I was thinking 25 pages of an average 5-10 pictures, + written explanatiosn, but how much is the normal amount? I’ve heard of people including 100+. 

 

My husband is from Morocco.

other proof we have is: joint bank account in Morocco, affidavit of our roommate who signed the apartment lease that we lived together for 5 months. I’m still a student & worried that lack of evidence will hurt our case.

"Love" is difficult to prove on paper.......😉.    25 pages of pictures is excessive overkill..........I would include no more than 6 or 8 at most....my opinion......

Photos are essentially secondary. Some people feel going over board on them is necessary, some just send in 5-10 photos. Really is up to you, but also depends maybe where your spouse (the beneficiary) is from. Is it an 'easy' embassy or a difficult one. Info like that can also dictate about how much to "front load" your petition.

Concentrate on quality vs quantity

Photo evidence is secondary and does not add much to the package.   Small sample of 5 or so

YMMV

1st  you should do a timeline on here

2nd   i sent 25     just put 3 or 4 on a 8x11 paper and labeled them 

a few to show original meeting,  wedding and a honeymoon  /make sure family is in a few photos especially his mother

more important is # of visits and time together

not sure how you got a joint account in Morocco as the banks there told us i would have to live there 18 months and apply for PR  before i could do i could do an account there

Love and Bona Fide Relationship are not the same thing.  You provide evidence of a bona fide evidence, not of "love".  Arranged marriages are "bona fide" too.  If "love" shows through, great. 😉

 

My recommendation is to print 9 photos per page on full sheets of plain white paper.  3 pages of nine is my magic number but there's nothing magic about it.

 

Concentrate on evidence of time spent together in person.  If you "lived together" as husband and wife five months, that's strong evidence of a bona fide relationship.  Passport stamps showing the petitioner in Morocco for an extended time, the affidavit (about actually living together) is excellent as is the lease if both names are on it.  Time spent together in person,and (in Morocco) living together as husband and wife, is the strongest possible evidence you could have.  Photos are secondary.  Passport stamps, receipts, joint bank accounts, all are strong PRIMARY evidence.
