I will be applying for the CR-1 spouse visa.

I have two questions.

1- How many passport photos will be needed until the whole process is complete? Now I have two for me and two for my wife. Will I need to take more later during the other stages?

2- I have some videos of me proposing to my wife and some videos that each of us made to show our love for each other. Some are posted on youtube. Is it a good idea to put these videos on a dvd and send them with my I-130 packet or send them at a later stage? Or do not send any videos?

USCIS wants to see print only. No electronic or DVD images will be accepted. Save those things for your own memories.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)

Don't send any electronics/ videos etc. If you don't have any "normal" photos, take stills from the video, and print 4-6 on a piece of paper with captions.

For the first part, you'll need 2 for the I130. You'll also need 2 for the NVC/interview. You will want to check the required information for your country's medical exam. I had to bring 4 to my medical.
