Silly Photograph question

[missladyzara 0]

I know this might sound really daft, but the VJ instructions say to attach the photo to a sheet of paper using a clear plastic bag, I have no Idea what this means, I dont have any clear plastic bags, and I have no idea where I would get any from either. Hmmm. How did all you guys attach yours? Am I missing something really simple and obvious?

Also, just out of curiosity, I spoke to an attorney recently and I asked about the affidavits of support for the I-130 and if they needed to be notorized or not, and she explained to me that I didnt need to send evidence of a 'bona fide' marriage just yet and that I should bring all that stuff to my interview as it would give me more time to collect it and that when I have SSN we would be able to open a joint bank account, is this right? I just wonder why an attorney would tell me this if it weren't true, but she explained that this information wouldnt be used until the interview anyways.

Anyway, take care everyone x

We just put them in a ziplog back and attached that with a paperclip to a blank paper. So no fingerprints on the pics and they stayed nice together.

Lol hope this answers ur photo question

i placed the pics inside a legal size envelope (couldn't find a smaller one in the house) and labed the envelope my name and under that, PICTURES. same goes for husband's pics (for the G325 i think)

as for the evidences, i've read here that you don't have to send them with the AOS package.. although i did send a joint bank statement,affidavit and 2 pictures i think (just to cover my bases) when i sent my aos package

good luck!

i would use either those small clear lunch bags you can find at the supermarket, or a clear file page (the kind that go in ringbinders).

We put the pics in a plastic ziplock bag, stapled bag to a plain sheet of paper and wrote at the top 'Photographs of .... for form ....'.

As for evidence, if you are adjusting from VWP and so submitting an I-130 as well as the I-485 etc, you do need to send evidence now. If you check out the instructions for the I-130, they require not only proof that you are married (marriage cert, divorce certs if necessary) but also proof that you are bona fide, and they list things like joint leases, birth certs of children, evidence of comingled finances as possibilities of things you could use to show this. It's true that you will need (more) evidence at the interview, but the I-130 does require you to send evidence now. If you aren't adjusting from a K1, USCIS hasn't seen evidence of your relationship before the AOS stage. We just got me added to our apartment lease and sent that and a joint bank account - our bank didn't require an SSN for us to have a joint account.

You can follow the guidelines of the above posters by using ziploc bags...but if you want you can go to any office products store and they do sell small ziploc bags that are just big enough to fit passport photos.
