BEST ADVICE ! BEST ADVICE !

But what Proof. The OP has no Timeline. 2 year requirement. No pictures. Whatelse is missing. I think it's time to catch a Plane to Manila.

I think it is a bit irresponsible (at the very least, not helpful) for folks to proclaim failure, time waisting - or other similar statements seen here (am not saying this directly to anyone in particular) and especially without delving into the other evidence the OP has on hand. All based solely on the existence/nonexistence of photographs. This is how myths and fable further their credibility.

Do I personally believe the OP is doomed to failure unless he hops on a plane, camera in tow, to take some snapshots of him and his honey (and perhaps mom/dad in-law)? Not exactly - but I don't know all the facts and really, neither does anyone else (since no one has really explored that).

I would think that out of 8 trips to PI that the OP would certainly have amassed some pretty good evidence of having traveled to the islands - doesn't sound like that is an issue.

FWIW:

For all we know - maybe his fiancé's friends/family has photos of them. Or, perhaps there is some other evidence to support having met.

Amen!

1. i have seen her more than 8 times since 2009 but we do not have pictures together but we do have pics of each of us in same room so u see every thing is same in back ground,

but do have phone records, many plane stubs and copy of passport will that be enough as she is from the Philippines.

Yes i do plan to go back with in the next few months and will take many pics before the interview, so since there is no metion of pictures in the i-129f should i be safe or should i wait to send it in tell after i have pics

The OP's very first post stated they had been together in person several times over the last 2 years. They have the plane ticket stubs to show, as primary evidence for the petition. It is possible they have other evidence of being there together, since he took so many trips already. The only thing missing was photos.

They also stated later in the thread that he will be taking another trip there, and will get the photos they need for evidence at the interview.

Jay, I suggest you read the posts more carefully and then type later. That is Not what they say. Then try again and then give the OP a Gift from your Mouth. Read the Thread more Carefully.

Question is: Would you Submit a 129-F and all the work that went into it and a Check for $340.00 and did'nt add a Simple Picture or 2 ?

Tell me: And us. How many of you submitted your 129-F without Photos ?

The petition needs pictures before the interview does.

I Agree!

[Penny Lane 8,159]

While it's possible to get approved without photos, I've seen people get RFEs for them as well.

As LookWhatIFound indicated earlier. It will be a factor at some point and I see it as Non-Avoidable at the Interview. To play Poker against USCIS and take a chance (Or Bet) is not going to pay-off. The odds are against you!

Coconuts then what you are saying is some people get approved without photos and some people get RFEs?I think like Tim says, if his situation is like what he said then file it,Hope on a plane to Manila if he can, and take Pics and IF he gets RFE for photos, then he is prepared at that point to send them in, and all is fine1

I just quoted what they said. It is indeed what they said, as I know how to read quite well. I read through the whole thread as it progressed. All I have seen you add into the mix is a bunch of flip-flopping and confusing posts that usually make no sense at all. Perhaps you should follow your own advice and read and understand more carefully.

They wanted to know if they should go ahead and send the petition without photos of them together. They were told photos can be helpful for proving the meetings in the last 2 years, however, since they do not have any, that maybe they should go ahead and send in all their other evidence of meeting instead of waiting. The OP stated they were going to plan another trip within the next few months, and will be taking photos of them together so they will have some when it comes time for the interview stage. It is only speculation at this point whether he would, or would not get an RFE for not sending any photos of them with the petition. It is his choice to decide if he should wait to send his petition, or go ahead and risk the RFE. He asked, and was given his options and told what could happen. Either way, he stated, he is going to go visit again and take some photos this time around.

Read Post #17 Jay. Soon after you will see he decides a trip back is needed.

I do not need to read your post again.

I believe you are referring to his decision in post #26 >

Thank you pushbrk i read into the instructions same as u, as they are not asking for pictures no where in the instructions except for the passport photo of both in the g-325a

so my plan was submit all the required docs per the instructions of the i-129f form and visit and get many pics before interview time and actually be there at the interview with her

LOL Sea-Town. Best Decision you just made. Took alot of Argueing between Members but, This is BEST

He decided to send his petition with what he has, without photos, and then go visit after that to take the photos he will need at the interview.

You agreed and said that decision was "BEST".

:rofl: :rofl:

Seriously guys? To be honest, Tim, I have read confusing and contradictory posts from you in other threads as well.

OP, good luck! My fiance is not fond of photos either and we only sent a couple. Although we have been together for several years, half of which we both spent in the US while at university, our pictures were primarily from a couple months preceding our petition submission. Ideally I would have preferred photographs to cover the course of our relationships, but you just have to work with what you have. Don't stress too much and enjoy your next trip to the Phils.
