I put the pictures in a plastic ziploc bag, wrote the name and case number on the front of the bag, and attached it to the front of the application with a paperclip.

It doesn't matter how you send them as long as they can find the pictures and they arrive undamaged.

I used this http://goo.gl/MzA0p (no idea how you call it in English!)

Inside, I put a sheet of paper and wrote "photo of beneficiary/petitioner" + the name, and placed the 2 photos in front. I put each plastic thingy after the corresponding G-325A.

I also wrote the name and beneficiary or petitioner on the back of the picture.

:ot: Making these pictures with the standard US size here in France cost us about 11USD per photo. :angry: I had to get 8 and my husband 2...

The bag stapled to a full sheet of paper with full names printed on the back of each photo is a best practice, not a requirement. Having everything on full sheets of paper, helps avoid them getting dropped and lost when the package is opened.

I have a hot sealer at work so I custom made my bag to fit the passport photos. Then I found they actually make tiny ziplock bags lol
