Passport Style Photographs, Quantity.

[StormCloudRising 0]

So I am almost finished with my K-1 Package, but I want to make certain that I have the right amount of Passport Photographs. I one of my fiancee and one of myself. My Fiancee has two copies of her passport 2x2 photos. But I only one one copy, a left over from when I applied for my passport. Do I, the Beneficiary, need TWO IDENTICAL passport, one for the K-1 Petition and one for the Interview at the embassy? If so then I will need to get new photos taken of myself.

Since you don't identify the consulate,  you might need 3 or more at the time of the interview.   Typically the embassy wants 2, medical facility may require one as well

Kyiv, Ukraine.

Okay so I will have her get four copies of her photo made and I will also make four copies. The amount of papers that I have for this K-1 Application is insane.

The I-129F does not generally require a great deal of paperwork.  Perhaps you are sending excessive documentation.  @payxibka is quite the expert in K-1 affairs.

Why so much paper 

My K-1 Petition is being prepared by an Immigration Lawyer and sent in. He sent me a list of everything that he wants and told me that he would sort and trim as necessary. However, it seems overly excessive. I have about 42 pages of Hotel/Apartment/Train Ticket/Plane Ticket Receipts. Receipts from Resturants, Opera, Stores. The Intent to Marriage letter that you told me to make previously. Copies of my Boarding Passes, My Passport-- and so forth. So I got all this signed and put together for the Lawyer to sort through. But he is closed on the weekend and I am not sure how many Passport photos that I myself need to have. My Fiancee is in Ukraine, I know she will need more than me since she is the Alien Spouse.

Aha, sorry. She is a just an Alien Fiancee on Paper. We had a non-Official Ceremonial Wedding so I find myself calling her my wife a lot. So to clarify, I only have ONE copy of my Passport Style Photo. I will need no more? Only she will need extras? If I need more, then I will need to go get more made, which is no big deal.

Correct 1 for you,  possibly more for her.

The "non-official ceremonial wedding" could become an issue, so be aware of that.

 

Same goes for any kind of evidence you're considering showing to the embassy where you're calling her your wife.

They don't need many pictures in Kyiv. I think medical only took one, even though it says they require 2. 6 5x5cm pictures for her on standard American 4x6 inch paper would be sufficient, and those are pretty easy to print anywhere in Kyiv. You also don't need tons of anything for 129F, and you definitely do not need to "Frontload" for Kyiv  Embassy. 

Delaying application because you are gathering things that are not needed will not help you be together faster. We were never asked for any receipts.
