Pics as proof of meeting

[weluvourlittleman 0]

I know this sounds lame, but just curios. My fiancé and I just received an email notification of our NOA2. We are very happy and starting to prepare the required documentation, I have thought of making a scrapbook. I read somewhere about a no-no in using hard-bound covers/binders and thick photo-albums or else one will earn the annoyance of the pre-screener. How did you guys make your scrapbook, any tips? What materials did you use? Any ideas will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

for our pics, i simply used small, thin and plain photo albums where you just slip the photos in slots and put labels over the photos for the dates . i probably had just 24 photos in them.

i didn't make so much fuss over them since i was advised that the interviewers will simply scan through them. i just made sure that the photos were big and clear enough.

I stapled 10 pages of short bondpaper, labeled the first page with our names and placed two pictures for each successive pages so that I had 18 pictures ( I also labeled each with date and place where the photo was taken) to show all in all. I brought the rest of our pictures though for back-up in case they needed more but they didnt. My "album" went thru the window without a hassle because it was very thin. It was simple but very convenient. Anyway they are interested in your picturs, not how grand the arrangement looks like Just a tip that helped me a lot.

Goodluck on the journey.

The pre-screener asked me to take out 5 pictures in the album even if the album fits in the window. The labels I made were basically useless.

Ours were all digital photos, so I arranged 3-4 per page on my computer screen and printed them out on plain bond paper. No hassle.

Mine, were pasted in a bondpaper and put caption on it...just prepare at least 10 sheets...and bring the other pics. The prescreener will choose pictures.

Good luck!!!

Based on my experience, I glued our pics on a colored construction paper and placed captions on it.
