Last minute AOS packet question

[doctorbeat 6]

My wife and I are about to send our AOS packet hopefully on Friday.

I see that a lot of people include photos as part of the evidence to prove a bona fide relationship, but we haven't got any printed.

Is it absolutely necessary to include photos with the packet, or can we relax for now and just get them ready for the interview?

We have literally thousands of photos, and we really don't want to have to go through them all as this will add precious days onto the process of assembling the packet.

We have a baby daughter, so we were going to include her birth certificate as evidence.

Is this adequate until the interview?

Yes, you're fine bringing the photos to the interview. I wouldn't worry about it right now. Just make sure, all the forms are filled out correctly and signed!

You will not get an RFE on the lack of pictures, bit you might get one if you forget to sign a form

Good luck!

We did not include photos, no RFE, no interview and approved.

No interview? Wow!

I've read all sorts of stuff about what people send, one person said their packet weighed 13lbs!

To me, that seems like overkill. If I was the IO, I'd leave that one at the bottom of the pile for a while...

We are going to keep the powder dry and just send a nice lean package with all the necessary stuff in it. I think that gives us the best chance of having it processed quickly.

Concurrent filers are required to have an interview. Inky arrived on a different visa. Anyway, not sending photos now is fine. In fact, photos are not even suggested as evidence at this point. On your interview letter, photos will be suggested as an item to bring. If you are using daughter BC as only evidence, I would get anything else you can on the list for the I-130 (any lease, etc?) Send it off and good luck!

She got no interview because she entered via the K1 route. We will get interviews for sure.

My packet was not 13 lbs. I did send a page of photos that I printed off with the words "We belong together" on it. I doubt it will do anything to aid my packet other than having to endure my hubby trying to sing the song in falsetto (Not a good experience) lol.
