Bringing photo album to interview? How many pics are too much?

[big red 0]

I am putting together pictures for the interview but not sure, should I put them in it's own photo album? How many pictures are too much? Are 100 too many?

You can bring photo album on your interview, its better to have many than nothing.

I am bringing an album with all of the pictures that we have of us together... about 200. Better too many than not enough.

Thats what I was thinking, just bring as many as you can. How about emails and data like this? Any cut off line you think?

I would bring as much of everything that you have. Better to have it & not need it....than to need it & not have it.

I will just point out what was stated in a thread from an actual IO at USCIS that photos are considered secondary evidence and can support primary evidence, but in and of themselves carry little weight. I would take them, but I would make certain the other evidence is very strong.

Good luck,

Dave

We took a photo album/scrapbook to the interview in Tegucigalpa (probably aroud 200). They asked us to choose and remove about 20 photos for them to look at(and they gave them back after the interview). Photo album not helpful, maybe just take out the plastic pages to protect photos.

extras could be: receipts (hotels, restaurants), boarding passes, cards/letters (b-day, v-day), money transfer receipts. Any paper evidence of relationship.

If you are going to be sitting around for hours as a nervous wreck, do you want to be holding many pounds of "documents" that you have to dig through when they want something? Organize your stuff, take a good amount, but not so much that it is a burden, and know what every item is that you have with you.

It might be a good idea to take something to help with the nervousness. In the back of the folder of documents that I sent to my fiance, I included a few pages of information about our city (his new city here in the US) and state so that he can know some of the history and trivia. None of it would be overwhelming information or pull his focus, but can help to occupy a bit of his mind while waitingwaitingwaiting.

Note: If you are the interviewer and you ask for something and the person has to dig through volumes of ####### while you wait and are thinking about the umpteen other people you need to take care of today, you might not be feeling so friendly. Don't irritate your interviewer because of your poor planning. It can't benefit you in any way.
