You need a passport photo of both you and your fiancee for the G-325a and it needs to be a american sized one....

follow the link to the K1 guide and it will tell you everything you need, the order to place it in , and examples to show you for the forms and such.

Thanks everyone.

Yeah I figured I'd worry less by including both just to be on the safe side.

Oooh one last question, I thought I read somewhere that the G-325A's and the I-129F had to be printed front and back as opposed to on separate sheets, is that correct?

Thanks for the video! It was super informative!

Do most people bind everything together? I think it's a great idea, but I was wondering if it might be trouble for them to receive a binder?

Thanks

They say not to use Binders or any other fancy sort of binding that cannot be quickly disassembled. What I'm doing is using what they suggest which is ACCO Fasteners (they have ones that are built in to brown folders like you see government documents in on TV). With these you have two hole punches at the top of the page.

The Proof of Ongoing Relationship isn't technically needed till the interview stage. The USCIS just needs to prove that you're both free to marry and have met in person within the last 2 years. It's ok to frontload it, though, so no harm there.
