I would bring a representative sample of photos before engagement, during, family, vacation / touring, see the Philippine threads on this issue. Cards, Skype, letters, see the VJ guides for F1 http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide. Send some with your application. Good Luck.

Besides the mandatory stuff (I-134,letters of intent,G-325 etc) my wife took.......

-about 8-10 pics of us together. A few had some of her family in them as well. Write details on the backside.

-All the cards I sent her from various holidays (including the canceled envelopes).

-Copies of receipts were I sent her some funds (shows financial support).

-Copies of some of our Yahoo chat logs.

-expired phone cards we used to call each other (this may be a bit overboard)

Copies of the hotel, airline passes and passport stamps etc. showing my visits were in the original embassy package so I did not duplicate these for her.

I got cards, western union receipts, receipts of the engagement ring, chat logs and pictures... Aside from the mandatory requirements (I-134, birth certificate, NBI clearance, etc) only pictures were ask, I put the pictures in a clearbook and wrote a description below it... they only ask me to flip the pages...

Are you asking what to send in as evidence, or what to physically bring to the interview?

I would bring as many photos to the interview as possible. Place them in individual photo sheets organized by date. You have to slide them under the window trough, so hard card stock type photo albums won't work.

Submitting a representative sample (as others suggested) is a great idea to reduce bulk of what is submitted (mailed) with the package, but why limit the number of photos to carry to the interview??? Photos are light and provide instant proof (if they are organized well) to many of the CO's questions.

Bring as many as you can and mix them - the two of you together, with family, etc,.

What I did was make a photobook (wedding, together, family, etc,) and sent it to my wife. She was complimented on it by the interviewer.

One of the most popular items we included was a picture of my family holding up a welcome sign for my fiance. Both the prescreener and the CO commented on it saying how nice it was. We also had pictures with my family holding a Philippine flag but since they were holding it upside down we didn't include it. We didn't want anyone to think there was a war starting :blush::lol:

hypocrit - a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, especially one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.

Pet Peeve for 2011 - supercilious, contemptuous, arrogant, attitudes.

Bring a lot of pictures but everybody says that pictures are secondary and now I know why. I am learning Photoshop, I mean really learning it... blending two pictures, cutting out someone sitting at a table and photoshopping them into another scene.

I was shocked at how good it looks now that I am getting good at it. These people are probably trained not to rely on photos too much. You can modify any photo graph and without blowing it up and inspecting it, you could never tell. Just for your information...

The wife brought tons of pictures, but the pre-screener only asked for six, so she gave her twelve. You can't fit anything through the 6" by 4" opening in the window unless you fold it. So, make all your stuff easy to take apart.
