Photos!

Hi, 

So.... I have read on rapidvisa that we shouldnt write on the back of our photos the details. What have other people done to overcome this that was successful? 

TIA 

😁

RapidVisa isn't exactly this pillar of US immigration wisdom.  For people that choose to send pics with their petitions, I have never heard any negatives about writing details on the backs of photos.

 

We didn't even send any photos, except for the required passport style ones.

What is to overcome?  Pictures are secondary evidence and don't really provide much utilitarian value

Ok, so what evidence did you send in to prove you have met in the last 2 years if you don't mind me asking

We sent the passport stamps which corresponded to the dates of our visits.

I provided my entry stamp into country and boarding passes for a flight where we were sitting in adjacent seats.  Mission accomplished.

Ah ok, we have passport stamps but no boarding passes however we do have confirmation for the flights we booked, upcoming holidays booked together and pictures with my children

Flight confirmations/itineraries and pictures are not great evidence of having travelled or whether the meeting took place in the required preceding two years.

Itinerary doesn't show you actually flew.  Upcoming bookings is a future event,  does nothing for proof of face to face meeting

Ok i might be thinking too much into this. He has boarding passes coming here as hes here currently and we have passport stamps that show ive been to the US and hes been here in the UK that should be sufficient

Remember, you only need to prove one meeting,  put together the strongest evidence you have for that one meeting

Thank you for that. I think i have been overthinking this whole process a little.

We sent pictures in a Word document, all pics had a caption saying 'Petitioner & Beneficiary in X City, USA Month-Day-Year' etcc

Our pics were from a period of 4 years so it's funny to see a compilation of all the pics with different haircuts, places, clothing styles, weight fluctation etc

Also contracts that we had for our upcoming wedding reception, and some affidavits written by witnesses of our wedding ceremony etc.

Ours were over 10 years and you could see us aging it was kinda depressing

I think I'm in the same boat as you. I've made a documentation of our entire relationship (2014 to now) that's 20+ pages and 2000+ words (including photos, boarding passes, hotel reservations). Is this too much?
