Wedding photos back?

[Sandy05 24]

Hey, sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find a thread for it. So when we sent our AOS packet I sent in a bunch of pictures with it. They were all copies so I was fine with USCIS keeping them. When we went for the interview, we brought our wedding album with us. The person interviewing was not the officer who made the final decision. While she was interviewing me, she asked my husband to take some photos out. We thought she would look at them and give them back since they already had copies of the wedding photos in our original packet we had sent. She ended up keeping 4 of my very expensive professional wedding photos. In all the chaos, I completely forgot to ask for them back. He has been approved and the card has been mailed, just waiting to receive it in the mail. Will we get those photos back? What should I do? Im kind of upset that she kept them considering everyone else before us said the officer will look at the album and hand it back..

There is a form (can't remember what form) you can fill out to get them back. They gave me back my pictures but not the papers I was asking for. Said they do not return government property. Which would be fine and dandy but they weren't US government forms so they had no claim on them. Oh well water under the bridge now. 

 

For anyone reading this get several forms of anything from your home country. They do not give it back.

True, I have heard of the form before. Though, I haven't heard of any folks going through the return process, or anything associated with that process. Post back your experience.
