Are they supposed to be in a bag?

Print them on regular white paper?

Put them in photo sheets?

Well, what was your method that got accepted recently ?

Please share.

Thanks

I had them printed, 2 pictures to a sheet (regular page size). On the back of each photo we identified who was in it, when and where it was taken, and then each of us signed it.

That's probably more than necessary, but it worked for our NOA2 approval.

21 Sep 2013 - Filed i-129F

27 Nov - NOA2 email received (63 days since NOA1)

30 Jan 2014 - NOA2 sent to NVC (64 agonizing days) P.S. Apparently VJ doesn't care about accurate timelines.

11 Feb - Got Case number

24 Feb - Packet 3 Received and Submitted

25 Feb - Packet 4 Received and Submitted

29 Apr - Medical (Dr Cheema)

01 May - Vancouver Consulate Interview - Approved!

I had the pics printed out on a photo paper, then tape them over a piece of white paper, label each pic with date, place and names of the people in the pic printed beside the pic then copy them...some had 2 or 3 pics per white paper ...label white paper with proof of meeting within 2 years of filing the I-129 f or proof of ongoing relationship at the top ...we submitted I-129 f package October 2012...I am here now in USA married to my USC fiancé.

I'm in the process of doing this right now. Since all my photos were digital, I put them into a Word document and arranged 2-3 per page and typed the description under each one. I printed it from a laser printer which gives pretty decent quality. You can definitely see everything you need to see. The colors may be a little off, but they're very clear otherwise.

Do you think that should be good enough?

my petiton was accepted last October.

-I had the photos printed out at a photo place.

-I went to local printshop and then color-copied each individual photo into an 8x12 paper, centering the photo in the middle of each sheet.

-I wrote the place it was taken, event and time on the top.

-I wrote the people in the picture for the bottom.

I only submitted 6 pictures.

It doesn't matter how they receive the pictures, whether actual photos in a plastic bag or printed on plain paper. Pictures are only secondary evidence and are only there to emphasize your primary evidence of meeting.

Exactly what I did, except that I used an inkjet printer, as the laser one I have access to is only black and white. It worked, as I just got my NOA2.

^This.

Ours was printed on regular paper. We wrote names and dates below the photos. He placed them in some clear sheet protector. No RFE/issues at all.

Mine were all digital.

I printed them out, large, in color onto a sheet of paper, 4 per each sheet.

I typed full names, dates and short descriptions beneath each.

I then printed the same sheet again but at the top stapled a baggie containing actual photos I had printed out at the Walmart print shop. Onto the back of each photo I hand wrote in marker, the full names and dates.

I submitted both sheets of paper plus others since I sent in about 10-12 photos total.
