Hi! I've been looking on here for a month or two, and I am finally making a post because I can't seem to find the answer to my question.

I have everything together for my original submission I-129F package for K1 visa, which I plan to mail off tomorrow.

I'm just stuck on how to present my photos...

I've labeled them all on the back of each photo with names, dates and locations. Should I put all of them in 1 plastic baggie? Should I buy photo sleeves? Should I paper clip them?

Please let me know how you included your photos in your package.

I know it's minor, but thanks for your help!

I placed ourphotos on a piece of paper and used scrapbooking photo corners to hold them in place. Then after I had like 4 on each page I slid them in a clear plastic sleeve. Also, I wrote a note of the dates locations and names in the margin next to the photos...

I think almost any method is ok as long as they have the info...

I put our pictures of us together in one baggie together, didn't paperclip them or put them in photo paper or anything, just labeled the backs. I did label the baggie with our names and what sort of petition it was though, and stapled the bag to a piece of paper so it'd all be uniform with the rest of the package.

I think you're freaking out too much :D

I wrote on the back of the few photos I included the date, where, and who. I didn't go to all the trouble to photo sleeve them or bag them...besides, photos are secondary evidence. I didn't get all worked up about them.

Thanks! Thanks to all. Yeah, I probably am freaking out a little bit. I was just kind of wondering how everyone did theirs. I ended up doing a combo of the suggestions and papercliped my baggie to the section for which the photos coincide. I have a section for each of our visits, each with several photos.

I had to put the package aside! I just have to reprint 2 things at work tomorrow and then will mail it off. I think i had gotten to the point of obsession with my double, triple and quadruple checking of everything! :wacko:

For the petition, I printed all the photos onto one photo sheet and added a date and caption below each. For her upcoming interview, I left a bound album, with photos from our almost five years together, with her on my last trip.

I did most of my copies at work too...I think all that sneaking around xeroxing off 60 sheets of blank passport photos, or whatever else, was the most stressful part for me. Felt like such a criminal. :unsure:
