Mounting pictures for USCIS [merged threads]

[Goldfinger 4]

Should I just tape my pictures to a piece of paper? How does this work usually?

I really don't remember much about submitting my application three years ago.

Thanks all!

Simply print your picture out on paper from your computer.

Attach photos, photocopy the photos, whatevs it seems!

Quick follow-up - can I place post-it notes on documents to amend or clarify them?

Such notes are likely to be removed and discarded without so much as a fleeting glance.

I created a word document and imported the pictures into it (2 pics per page). This allowed us to type comments below the pics as well.

I always just sent regular 4x6 photos printed at local drug store, not taped anywhere to anything, just in the envelope they give. Wrote info like date, place, etc on the back. Was always fine for all previous stages. This is what I did for ROC too.

As for documents, just write on the edges if you want to tell them something (or on the back, just put SEE NOTES ON BACK somewhere on the front so they don't overlook it). You're not sending originals anyway, you can mark them up to point to something, highlight something, etc. As long as it's still recognizable as a copy of the original, that's fine.

I printed in color about 4-5 photos on each regular paper.

I actually printed the pictures and put them in a ziploc bag and attached that to a white sheet of paper. Our petition was approved so that would work as well

Same here! and plan on doing the same for AOS

Probably just print them out on photo paper, put them in a ziploc bag and fasten to whatever documents they go with.

Argh! So smart! I have no idea why I didn't think of this. I just got the pictures developed professionally and it didn't cost a lot (Sam's Club! ). Then I just wrote the day and who was in it but your idea is so smart and simple! I developed mine because I wanted good copies for myself. xD I needed some "old school" pictures instead of just keeping them all digital.

You can print them on photo paper like this, i highly suggest for each picture you put the date taken, location, and who is in the picture (Left to Right)...

Hi,

while that is a great way of presenting the photo evidence, you have a lot of personal info showing here (locations, first names of you, your spouse and family). Are you sure you want to post this so publicly? Since it is first names only, we can leave it (if it as first and last, we always remove for your privacy and safety), but if you prefer, I can remove the post.

Just as the title asks - I seem to remember doing this for my fiance visa application, but should I separate the sections in my applications in a way that's consistent with my cover letter? I already have paper clips separating my documents, but would tabs along the bottom be helpful as well?

Let me know. Thanks!

They might be, or not. The general consensus is that USCIS discards all of it anyway.
