Ok, I hope I am not being repetitive, but I haven't found this information anywhere yet.

I am filling the I-130 and I-1485 together, that's why I am posting on the Adjustment of Status part of this forum.

In the guide I bought, it was suggested to add pictures of me and my husband. Does anyone know or can show any example of how to attach/assemble the pictures to the I-130 packet?

1) Can I compose in WordPad (or similar) and color print on normal white paper? If so... Does it have to be 1 picture per sheet or can I compose more than one picture on a sheet?

2) Or do I have to make those glossy 4x6 photocopies on CVS and write the description on the back of each photo. If so.... Should I put all the pictures in a sandwich ziplock bag, or do I have to put each photo on a different bag and staple it to a sheet with description on the sheet?

Lol, I hope someone understands the question! Thanks in advance!

For my K1 we put like 4 - 6 photos on one page (Word/PDF) and printed it afterwords on normal paper. It was still a lot of pages so one photo per page would have been reaaallly expensive lol. We brought real photos to the interview but no one even cared ;)

We did this for all our evidence, like plane tickets etc. - we took photos and printed it on normal paper. It was fine for K1.

Either way is fine, yes you can print more than one photo on a sheet, just label who and where and date it.

We divided photos into plastic bags divided into each trip.

We put the passport type photos in a baggie and wrote the name and A# on the baggie with a sharpie pen. All other photo were printed to plain paper, with four to six photos per page. Each photo was numbered and a separate page was stapled to the photo page with a descriptiopn of each photo. We used GIMP to create the photo pages and a word processor to write the description pages.

All document packages were held together with a large rubber band around the middle. This seemed to work OK and it made the bundle easy to take apart. We did assemble each bundle in the order in which the instructions said to provide the documents. In addition, the cover letter listed the documents in the bundle in that same order. This just seemed like and orderly way to assemble the documentation.

This process was used for all photo documentation from K-1 / K-2 through I-400. As long as the photos are clear and the descriotions are understandable you should be OK. They will look at the quality of the evidence not the quality of the photo paper. :)

Good luck!

We put pictures in each folder (I-130 and I-485) in ziploc bags.

There is no right or wrong way to do it, just make sure it makes the work easier for USCIS employees ;)
