Pictures

We have many pcitures for us and the family. I have them printed at Walgreens, how would I organize the pictures? or should I print them again ?

How did everyone arrange the pictures in their package?

ANY IDEAS?

If I remember correctly we sent in nine photographs from various time frames. I used pictures that showed great differences in appearance and location (snow, beach, mountains, beard, no beard etc...) I just attached the pictures to a sheet of paper with double-sided tape. On the sheet of paper I typed the date, location, reason for being there and anyone who was in the picture with us. Also wrote the same information on the back of each photograph. Nothing too elaborate as far as the pictures go. We are still in processing of the ROC as we just finished the bio appointment.

I used this same format for the I-485 and AOS.

Good luck to ya!

Oh sorry you don't have a time line and I was confused lol ahhh ROC I have not done yet but don;t they mainly want proof of co domiciliary, like utility bills car insurances, house insurances, health insurance and so on. Pics would be of all the things you have done in the last 2 years your home pics of gatherings together with friends and family any trips together that sort of thing, Dated and written on the back of where they are taken just like AOS. Hope that helps and good luck

I wouldn't waste much time with arranging pictures. For our I-485 interview I glued a couple of pictures on white sheets and put those sheets in protectors at the very end of our evidence binder. The officer glanced at them for a couple of seconds.

For my I-751 I put as the very last item one professional 8x10 portrait that shows us with my wife's family. It's not a willy-nilly snapshot and it's obvious that is was taken in a careful manner. The image shouts: A real family is getting together for events and is building their stash of memory.

I'd say focus on other more important evidence and save your money for all those prints. Give them a couple of pictures at the most. Don't even think of a chronology among them. I really just added one so that the officer has some sort of visual impression of the entire family. That was important to me.

I don't see anywhere that pictures are mentioned in the I-751 instructions. I don't think there is any harm submitting them, but we aren't.

You'll notice that it doesn't actually specify anything except the form or money is REQUIRED, it SUGGESTS stuff and photos are proof of relationship so most people would include them as proof of relationship as pics from events together etc. Obviously alone it's not much but I certainly will be.

We had a ton of pictures from our whole marriage, so we made ourselves a scrapbook-style album with iPhoto. We kept one for ourselves and sent them one. It was something we wanted anyway, so it was easy enough to just order 2.

Not a big deal. I think walking in there with two kids along with the record we have is good enough. If we didn't have kids maybe we would worry about it.

Sent mine on a cd, inside i had folders labelled such as Home, Family, Holidays ect.

I used MS Office Power Point and made a vertical line down the page and on one side of the line I had text that described the event in the pictures. I had dates on the line like a timeline and then the pictures. I think I included about 24 pictures from 5 different trips. By adding the pictures and using a timeline with descriptions I think helped tell our story

Great idea! I wonder, though, if they have some sort of policy that does not permit them to actually insert electronic media in their computers (for fear of a virus or security purposes etc.)...

When we had our AOS interview i took a CD with pictures on, interviewer thought it was great.
