Yes, I will have pictures with other people. I used no pin at one point, but they don't store the history on their site. But I have been using Amantel and I have the record for those. I also have the credit card statements for the no pin credit card charges. I guess that should be good enough (I hope). Thanks mtcmk1 for your input. Hope your wedding went well and that you enjoyed yourself. Best wishes!

When making a package for my husband to take to the embassy I included western union receipts for money I sent my husband. I think it only looks bad if the spouse from outside the US is sending the USC money. Because it could look like they are paying for the marriage.

I (usc) sent the money not the other way around.
