I have my interview soon and I have tickets from 7 return flights between us as proof of a genuine marriage. Just in case that wasn't enough I also wanted to bring a bunch of photos of us together including from the wedding and with friends and family. I was just wondering if I will have to print these out beforehand or if a usb stick is good enough?

They must be printed out. Embassies will not accept electronic media. Dates and descriptions should also be included with photos.

London will not want to see a bunch of photos. They don't dwell on relationship proof. It would be rare for them to ask for evidence, other than seeing your marriage certificate. Take 4 photos if you would feel better having some with you.

:thumbs: certainly much better advice from someone in the know of the embassy involved.

Popping by the UK forum and reading other's experience might help calm the OP's nerves.

It would really depend on the consul who will interview. Some require and some doesnt. So just be prepared for all possible evidence of relationships that you can bring...is you will bring a photo album dont bring the big ones...just small one that could fit through the window box where they ask you to place all documents that they need.

This interview from Tuesday ought to calm her nerves http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/496808-approved-at-london/?p=7070157

Only showed passport and interview letter. They have all your previous files to look through. I suppose London figures that USCIS did their job well and already vetted your marriage/relationship. They just don't get into relationship other than asking a few questions like when did you get married, where will you live, etc. Easy questions like a chat.
