Getting photos together

[Tim and Erin 3]

Just wondering how many copies of each photo of us together will I need?

We sent about 10 photos, not originals but copies of the photos.

Good luck.

You won't need more than one copy of each photo for USCIS or the interview, however always keep a copy of anything you present or send for yourself, or in the case of photos, maybe a file in your computer or on a CD of photos presented and for what purpose.

We sent in about 6 pictures - different days (to show it wasn't staged )

I sent in 11, she picked out a few good photos (100+) and I selected the best out of those. Have me with her family, us at different places and one of us in boracay with the date etched into the sand.

Maybe I misunderstood the OP. I took the question to mean "how many copies of each photo" do they need. ONE of each. If you want to send 10, 20, 11, 23, or 100 photos, it is fine, you only need ONE of each.

FWIW I sent ONE photo of us together for the petition, I had about 200-300 for the interview and they only looked at four. I took the others home with the visa approval

I think you were on the right track but I disagree with the response.. I think 3 copies of each photo are needed.. 1 for original submission of 129F sent to USCIS , One for duplicate sent to beneficiary and 1 for duplicate kept by Petitioner... I know that many say to have 1 extra copy of the packet in case something happens or it is needed later, but I feel 2 are needed as something could happen the backup if mailed to beneficiary... as we see in many cases USCIS can and does lose packets.. so the petitioner needs an extra ready to go if that happens...

Now that I've read everyone's replies, I'm tending to agree with Scott. What's a couple extra bucks for the security of knowing there's backups in case they're needed?

Thanks, everyone.

We sent 6 photographs and I of course took other photographs with me to the interview but not duplicates of the originals, they already have those photographs in front of them at the interview, so I took some other photographs of those trips for example our trip to Edinburgh. Didn't have to show any of them.
