Hi all!

 

2 Questions!

 

I'm wondering how folks here presented their photos with their fiancees. Do photos have to be printed with photo paper? Or can I just put the images directly onto a Word Doc?

 

Secondly, I know we don't need to submit the G325 anymore, right? Can I submit it just in case or better to leave it out?

The instructions say you can submit photos, does not say that photo paper is required

 

G325a is no longer required, new version of the i129f has the information that was previously submitted on the g325a integrated in the petition itself

The only pictures that have to be on actual photo paper are the 2x2 passport-style pictures of each of you.

Any other pictures can be put into Word doc; that's fine (and what we did; we put 3-6 pictures per page and added captions under each one).

Yes, you should be fine doing a Word Doc. For my AOS, I put my photos in a Google doc, then printed and neatly hand-wrote captions underneath each one (it was too much of a hassle to try and type the captions because of the images shifting.) 

 

As for your second question, only submit what is required. (Some of the VisaJourney guides are slightly out-of-date on things like this, so be sure to read the instructions for every form carefully.)

I pasted up 4 to a page on a word doc and printed on a laser jet printer and they came out very nicely. I did just 12 photos. Yes G325 is dead. Do only what do will do and don't do more.

What the hell does that mean? 

In other words submit only what is asked and nothing more. If you supply more than what is asked for it can be used to adjudicate your case and as innocent you might think the information that you are adding it could very well come back and bite you where the hell you sit.

Hi all!

 

2 Questions!

 

I'm wondering how folks here presented their photos with their fiancees. Do photos have to be printed with photo paper? Or can I just put the images directly onto a Word Doc? We printed out photos on regular copy paper using a color laser printer.

 

Secondly, I know we don't need to submit the G325 anymore, right? Can I submit it just in case or better to leave it out? Is it asked for in the instructions? If not, omit.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

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