picture problem

[Martyshk 137]

Actually, there is a rejection on the USCIS site for a K-1, because the petitioner gave to much detail, and they were caught up in a timing issue. (2 year meeting) - so to much info, in this case, was a bad day for them.

I will see if I saved the link - interesting read - the rejection files - I recommend it for bored people

Don't get me wrong...but this doesnt sound right (bolded part). I am not sure one of the criteria for rejections is: deny if there's too much information provided. Then every person who has ever front loaded would be denied. Since, you know, USCIS does not require any of the info.

So any person who sends 20 photos will be denied. Because USCIS does not require that many photos.

Everyone who met more than once would be denied, since you know, USCIS says you can meet only once

It's a slippery slope.

But I doubt they were denied for too much info.

I'm going to wait for a link

I'm sure there was something else to that

If I remember correctly - they gave lots of dates, and when the USCIS actually "timelined" the dates, it showed they met outside the two year requirement - (probably the person "guessed" at dates and made an error).

But that was enough to deny the petition - in this case, a simple "we met in the PI on xx/xx/xxxx, then were engaged on xx/xx/xxxx on my last visit" would be easier to see "errors"

I am only referring to the "how did/when you meet" requirement - not other evidence. (all though - I wouldn't front load to much at the USCIS stage, at the interview is when I would put a lot of evidence - I think I sent 4/5 pictures total with mine, with selected chats (snips of the various months), telephone bill (1) and tickets/boarding pass/turkish visa to prove the 2yr meeting requirement)

heh we included about 25 photos along with emails, cards, envelopes, copys of large mail packaging, movie stubs, pages and pages of phone records and a bunch more ha - at the interview our packet was about 4inches thick!(including whatever papers they added of course)

we are still in the process of filing our k1 application. My fiance is still scanning the passport stamps and boarding pass before he will submit our application. our packet s more or less 2-3 inches thick coz we included 20 pictures. just wondering what binding thing he will use for our packet. any suggestions? he said to use the black binding clips. i read about using paper fastener.

This is an interesting thread for me as I'm in the process now of trying to put everything together. Like most people, I have my photos in digital format and have chosen 12 of them to submit with my I-129F. I'm not sure though how exactly to present them. I've uploaded them to Walgreens and intend to have glossies printed, but what size is best? 4 x 6? 5 x 7? And then what? How exactly do people physically include them with the I-129F packet? I've searched through the archives and found information about putting together full blown photo albums for the interview, but certainly one doesn't want to do that for the petition, right? What about taping them to bonded paper? That doesn't seem to make sense as the information on the back of the photos wouldn't then be accessible. Someone mentioned using powerpoint to add captions, which sounds look a good idea. But then what did you do with the slides? Just print them out on your home printer?

we printed our pictures in 4 x 6 inches. and we taped those on paper and just put captions at each and every pictures. we didnt write the caption at the back of picture since we taped it. obviously) hahaha

You can just get your pictures printed 4 x 6 at Walgreens or whatever. Then just use a color photo copy machine and copy like 5-6 pictures per page on Letter size paper. The I-129F instructions say that you can submit copies of evidence. They do not require originals. If you want to submit the originals anyways, I don't think it would hurt, but I would keep all originals if possible.

We just put pictures in a little bag and that's all. We included 16.

Did you use the black binder clips or punch two holes at the upper middle of the paper and use paper fastener?

Thanks everyone for the responses. I was looking around at Walmart yesterday and found some 'photo sheets' which are clear plastic pages with slots into which you can insert photos. I didn't even know that such a thing existed but this seems to be the neatest solution. Thanks again.

We used a LARGE silver paperclip to put it all together and had photos in plastic baggies placed in there where they needede to be, obviously held in place by the paperclip or an extra one to make sure it stayed between the apropriate pages.

Dont use fasteners dont make hole punches etc... the USCIS will take ALL pages apart regardless of how you put it together and they REDO IT to how they want/need it. Just go with a large paper clip or one of the big black clips that holds a large amount of paper.
