Plastic bag or photo sheet

[MochiKamo 93]

I just came back from Japan and I am ready to send the 129F packet. For Documentary Proof of Having Met in Person in the Past Two Years and an Ongoing Relationship I have collection of photo sheets that contains 46 photos of us both in the US and Japan in various locations during the previous two years.

However, if they punch holes on top of the photo sheets it’s going to be somewhat cumbersome as the holes will go into the pictures and the pages. Now I'm just thinking of going with a plastic bag.

I know I probably should just send the application and not worry about pedantic stuff like this but I was just curious what the consensus here was. Thanks!

Since all our photos are digital, we pasted 2 photos per page in a word document with a descriptions underneath. We only put about 15 pictures and even then I thought that may be too many The advice I was given here was to use enough to get your point across ie, you have met/been together in the past 2 years - the rest can be bought to the interview.

Anyway, primary evidence such as passport stamps and boarding passes are more solid evidence

good luck

Thanks for the replies! However, I have to say that I have already read the step by step guide several times from top to bottom.

All my photos were digital so as the recommendation of the guide, I printed them at a company (kodakgallery.com).

The guide also recommends to "Place photo's in a plastic bag or photo sheet and label the sheet."

Disregarding the number of photos I have, if I use my photo sheets there will be holepunches on top of the pages resulting in holes in the pictures. This is why I am considering using the plastic bag option. So I was wondering how other did it. At this point I'm tempted to get a zip lock bag and attack the bag.

I went with the plastic zip-lock bag approach. I had about 15 4X6 photos and simply stapled the sides of the bag to a heavier sheet of paper. The top was still able to be opened and it felt good in the hands and looked semi-professional. I think getting the info into the hands of those who need it, as quickly as possible is the most important. Triple check it all and send away!

Indeed that was my conclusion also. The photo sheets looked nice but they seemed like they'd be a pain to work with. The plastic zip lock bag approach not only takes up much less room, as you say it allows for quick access.
