putting together my I-130 package, do I need photo's

I realize that many people post questions for feedback regaridng items to include for proof of boni fide marrage. So i will attempt to get some feedback to my situaiton.

I was actually seperated form my previous wife for nealry 8 years, filed for divorce and waas granted the divorce this past Sep 2012. i am predicting that my courtship of my new wife may be in quesiton, as i was still legally married during the 18 month courtship before getting married. We were married in Dec of 2012, just 3 months after my divorce was finalized. I have traveled to the philippines 4 times for a total of 10 weeks in country. We were married by a Judge, and I actualy went thru the whole official 10 day process before hand , attending all the required family planning classes and such.

We have purchased property together, and although i cannot own property , I asked that my name be added to the bill of sale and retain a copy of that bill of sale form the Camella Valley Corporation. So other than the marrage contract, signed by a judge, and with the appropriate witensses required by law, The bill of sale for the property is the only Item I have.

i was going to select a few picutures of my visits , how do I include them? Print a few on normal picuture stock and attach with a paper clip? or is a normal 8 1/2 X11 paper , with multiple picures printed on it acceptable?

We did multiple pictures on 8 1/2 x 11 photo paper.

I suggest you look into the laws governing the period of divorce and getting married again in your state.

Yes, the way you present the pics is a good idea. Also, surely you have proof of communication- emails, phone bills etc?

Well , we haven't used e-mail very often . All phone calls have been from the Philippines to me from a pre-pay phone since it is only 2 peso per min , a lot cheaper than for me to call her .

Pics on normal paper is fine, just make sure you include a caption for each picture stating the date, place, and naming everyone in the pic.

Being married so quickly might get you an extra look but it did not cause us any problems. We were married 1 month after the final divorce. I know getting the capacity to marriage form from the Embassy was a treat. They did ask a few questions about the timeframe.

The pics do as the others above mention. It is what we did.

In regards to the divorce timeframe, I agree with dale_trisha. During the interview you could very well be asked questions as to why so quickly. Thats what I am expecting on my interview. My husband was legally seperated for almost 2 years before his divorce became final, and we got married just 2 weeks after it was. Should the interviewer asks me about it, he or she will hear a whole rant of misplaced divorce court case that delayed us 2 and a half months and courthouse closing due to extreme weather on his courtdate and then having to reschedule it for a month and a half later!
