Sending Pictures with I-130 Petition

[JAPrincess 27]

Hi VJ, did I tell you that I love you lately?

Question:

Is it best to put all the pictures in a ziplock bag with the dates written on the back of each photo, or should I put them in a photo sheet protector so that each picture can be viewed individually without having tot take them out?

thanks in advance for your experience/thoughts!

I sent in color copies with my I130 and didn't have an issue.

paper photo copies?

That would be much easier, and would make the entire package more streamlined...

When we sent our packet in, we sent paper copies too. In fact, I printed them 6 up per page. We also sent our facebook thumbnail photo pages from each facebook photo album showing all our times together and the dates they were updated. I included dates on the other paper copies. I sent only 8 original photographs --just the ones I had extras of.

But! I also sent tons of correspondence, our skype logs, our phone records, receipts, plane ticket stubs, letters, affidavits, and anything else I had to provide documentation of our relationship. I think the format is not so important, it's the quantity of information that proves a relationship --not the paper it's printed on.

Good luck to you!

Outside required photos I sent colored pictures of us signing marriage document

hope this is bona fide enough

I printed out pictures in color on regular 8.5 x 11" copy paper--one per page, with the date and a paragraph describing it underneath. I sent like 10-15 total. No RFEs!

Signing the marriage cert. isnt "bona fide" enough. Everyone who gets married must do this. Just being married does nothing. You provide a marriage certificate - yes .... Then you have to support the relationship with evidence - yes.

Hey JAPrincess...Honestly. We just printed our pics from our wedding and other pics from trips. They were regular 4 x 6 printed at the local Walgreen's Pharmacy. They were in no plastic protectors or anything else but just placed in the package. No request for further evidence received. However, we did provide quite a few pics. Hope this helps but I don't think that there is any need to jump through any extra hoops. Take Care..

We printed the regular album size color pictures and threw them in the envelope along with the other paperwork. No names/date written behind (except the passport photos) and all was well. You don't need to invest a fortune or style on that.

Thats exactly what we did and no problem at all.

Our interview will be soon, and we are going

To present the regular 4x6 pictures on a small,plastic

Simple album, but with no dates or comments written at

The back. Around 60 pictures we are planning to

Take, obviosly the CO is not going to look at

All, but hope to have more than less right?

Did not send any pictures, just the marriage certificate and 2 letters from friends to atest to our relationship and marriage. The entry stamps in the passport of my visits to Jamaica spoke for themselves.
