photographic evidence for interview

[Hannah+Vito 0]

sorry if this has been asked before but i couldn't find it when i searched and i wanted uk specifi answers.

I know its a bit early to be worried about this but i have 30 free prints avaliable on snapfish and its got a deadline on it.

how many photos did people take to their interview?

what sort of photos did you take ( kissing, couple, family, land mark ect)

did they even look at these or want them?

so far we have seven photos from what we sent with the petiton.

1 the two of us in front of a giant mickey mouse jack o lantern and disney cali

2 the two of us in front of the universal sign in cali

3 a photo Vito took of me in the cavern bar liverpool where you can see the stage in back ground

4 a photo i took of Vito in the cavern bar liverpool with the bar and sign behind him

5 me and him hugging and poseing behind the bar where i work

6 me and him together behind us is the big ferris wheel on santa monica pier just before they sold it

7 me and Vitoinfront of the star of india (ship) in san diego.

i was expecting to need a lot more for the interview but i thought i saw one poster state he had eight total. i was also not sure if what we have already is enough proof of a relationship. it must be proof enough that we have met. ( iknow thats photos are secondary and we will be providing more evidence like chat logs and copies of cards and things)

would love to know your opinions/experiences

thanks in advance

I took 6 photos to my interview. I was not asked to show them, or any further evidence of a continued relationship for that matter.

I wouldn't stress over photos to be honest. Take a small selection, but I wouldn't go overboard.

I took a scrap book showing photos of my visit there and his visit here... plus clippings of things we had done together, etc. but they didn't ask to see them. I also took some recent emails but these also sat in my bag without being seen.

Take a few photos just in case but probably you won't need them, so don't worry too much about it.

You will be fine I'm sure

Right.

The square US ones....not the rectangular European ones.

I agree with most of the posts here that pictures don't seem to matter much and are rarely even requested during an interview. But still, it is important to consider your situation and avoid unnecessary problems. We were doing an I-130 (DCF) at the London embassy and didn't send in pictures in response to an RFE regarding our bona fide relationship. Big mistake. We got called in for an interview before even getting to the immigrant visa application stage. During that RFE interview, we took masses of evidence, and the main photo evidence that satisfied our interviewer were pictures of the wedding that included loads of people, especially our families.

Just adding this to balance out the previous posts. We read a few similar posts way back when and wished we hadn't, b/c it would have saved us about a month.

We were not asked to show the photographs again at our immigrant visa interview.

Went to the interview yesterday with my fiance. We had a small clasp binder/folder of further evidence that took about 5 minutes to put together. It had another letter from me supporting the petition, two photos of us from visits since the original application, the boarding passes from those trips, London theatre tickets (went with the snap from Picadilly Circus), train tickets to London, and a postcard that just happened to arrive in the post from his mum which she addressed to both of us at his UK address. The didn't ask to see any of that. So don't worry about that part because it's not a big issue. Throw a few things in a folder if it makes you more comfortable but don't waste alot of time on it. The relationship proof is at the USCIS stage and London isn't interested. Girls in the Philippeans bring huge scrapbooks and they seem to be expected there, but not in London.

Wow! Do we actually need pics of us kissing? Anyway, Spapfish is great. The prints turn out wonderful. My wife had a beautiful 8 x 10 from our wedding printed out. It was so lovely!

My fiancee had her interview this morning. I had sent a bunch of photos, plane ticket receipts, engagement ring receipt, etc. & they didn't ask for any of it. But as someone posted it is better to err on the side of caution & bring a few just in case.

I know this may be a silly question but again on the 3 passport photos that need to be taken to the Interview, do my ears have to be showing?! I have long hair , but for some reason I recall being told my ears must be showing.

The 3 photos requested are the US sized. However, only two are needed for the Embassy. The other is presented at the medical appointment to be put on your form. My fiance had both sizes and asked the medical person which she wanted. She chose the British size because they cut down the US sized to fit on the form they use. You definitely need two US size to give to the Embassy at the interview. The third photo can be either size from our recent experience.
