How many photos am I allowed to include in the application for the K1 visa?

I see some posts saying 3-5, but does it matter or hurt your application depending on how many you submit?

Thank you all!

Photo’s are secondary evidence and won’t affect you too much regardless of how many you send, 1 or 100 some people like to front load so send heaps.. main thing is to prove that you’ve both met at least once in person...flight receipts, hotel bookings etc with dates to show it’s been within the allotted timeframe

Thank you so much! I am curious about the most important parts of this application, because my fiancee and I have met 4 times in the past two years so I am not worried about pictures. And as for evidence I have two different flight boarding passes saved as while as a document from the Thai government stating that I stayed at their current address. We are currently looking for emails confirming hotel bookings, would it be enough to print those out? Also would our application be very simple since neither of us have ever married and neither have had kids. 

I appreciate your help!

Pictures are not required.  I would include passport stamps, boarding passes, hotel reservation.....for one visit within the last 2 years.  Good Luck.

Actual hotel stay receipts.   A reservation is a booking and not proof you actually stayed

YMMV

This will not make an overall time difference in processing your petition.

Thank you both for the advice, I will look into that now! Also, my fiancee and I met on tinder but we have no way to access the tinder messages since we deleted our accounts, will this be a problem? The earliest message screenshots I can find are after we switched from tinder to WhatsApp which was a month later. 

As for the proof of relationship approximately how many screenshots of social media posts/ messages should we look to submit for our 2½ year relationship?

Thank you all again, I have had so many questions since beginning this process!

Bangkok consulate in Thailand.

The petition does not require submissions of proof of relationship evidence.   This evidence is brought to the consulate interview.

Thank you, so what would be all the documents submitted along side the I-129F?

A close read of the instructions would be highly recommended
