I have five or 6 category's of pics. 3 from wedding, 5 or so from honeymoon, 5 or so from each of the three trips we have taken, 5 or so from our housewarming party and 5 misc pics (Easter, anniversary dinner, etc). I wasn't sure if I should label them but I did that this morning anyways to play it safe. Some dates are unknown so I just put the year, some are month and year and some are actual date and who is with us in the pics. Just remember that pics are not considered primary evidence so I doubt it will matter if there is 5 or 30. I just like to be over prepared. :whistle:

That's great though. I did send more pics with our AOS application and wasn't sure how much it helped. I think I'll just stick with the 6 I have. If they want more, I'll send them! :thumbs:

With our ROC package, I sent 12 pictures - none from wedding/honeymoon, but a couple with family at various occasions, trips we had taken, one on the plane together to go visit his family. I hope everything is accepted!

@Iml3g3nd, I agree with RebeccaandPhil - we are just going to take the NOA1 to the DMV before my husband's license expires on 11/18 so it will get extended for another year. Then once he gets his 10 yr GC, we will have to go again but it will be valid for much longer this time!

Yeah, it does! I think pictures are considered secondary evidence so I'm sure they put more weight on the other documents we're sending in. But, at the very least, maybe it'll give them something more fun to look at than our boring documents which will put them in a good mood and they'll approve us! :rofl::D

With our ROC package, I sent 12 pictures - none from wedding/honeymoon, but a couple with family at various occasions, trips we had taken, one on the plane together to go visit his family. I hope everything is accepted!

Yeah we didn't send any wedding ones either as we brought our entire wedding album with us to our AOS interview. He did look through it though so I didn't feel like the hours I put into getting it together was wasted! :blush:

I just got the last piece of my evidence today in the mail, yahooo! My packet is also officially complete and I'll be mailing tomorrow after work. =) Or during lunch if I can't wait any longer. The funny thing is as I was paying the last of my bills before we leave for our big trip (going to India for two weeks on Friday),I stumbled across another piece of evidence that I didn't know I had. Forgot hubby was also on our car loan bill so I made a copy of that one too.

Sent out our ROC packet today - It cost $28 for overnight shipping, that's how heavy it was! :/

16 days until my 2 year Green Card expires. Naturally our home just got severely flooded last month and new health insurance just started so I'd wanted to include that in the packet. Hope we didn't leave it too late but really didn't have a choice with all that's going on with our home :(

Good luck everybody!

Oy, $28 :o I wonder how much ours will be.

Mine cost less than $5 - I didn't overnight it but did send it certified. I was able to check online that it was only took 2 days to get there (from VA to VT). In my opinion, overnight isn't worth it.
