Photos!

[bakphx1 789]

First off, the whole idea that only a boarding pass will do is folklore.  I submitted my itinerary pages and never sent a single boarding pass, as have others.  Itineraries + passport stamps + pictures should round it out fine.  If you had a weak case with little documentation and only submitted refundable itineraries as the only proof, maybe you’d have an issue.  Following this site for a couple of years I can’t say I’ve seen a single RFE for wanting a boarding pass in lieu of a printed itinerary.  Plenty of people submitted itineraries with no problem.

 

To your question, I scanned and printed the pictures on paper for easier handling and labeled them on the paper.  This allows for a neater stack.

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 

😁

We just print the pics out on normal size paper and wrote next to each photo short info and that was okay.

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?

See your answers in your similarly-themed thread.

Thank you so much. We have found a few boarding passes, i have most itineries, passport stamps we have been to Europe together (paris and Greece) and of course copious amounts of photos. Ill mix and match showing various evidence. I would rather send a bit more than have a RFE

Send photos!!! We sent all our flight receipts, passport stamps, receipts and tickets for things we had done, vacation records with both our names on it, all of that and we got an RFE for photos, when we sent them back we didn’t write on the back of them but we wrote a letter detailed what we were doing and where we were in them

The next question is why you are wasting money on RapidVisa. You’re from the U.K. so presumably you speak English. The forms are in English. What exactly do you need their help for? Already you’ve seen that you’ve got more help here for free than you’ve had from them who charge you for it.

There was a couple from England/US who filed their i-129f around the same time as me and they got an RFE for not writing the names on the back of the passport style photos.

If they’re anything like us, they likely found rapidvisa before they found this site.. yeah a little waste of money, but on the up side, you can dump them after initial submission and use their pre-filled forms at NVC like I am, makes it a little less intimidating I guess, the formatting etc is the same, so becomes more of a copy past thing

I have never heard of an RFE for photos, since they are not a requirement for the I-129F petition.

We wrote date and location on the back of our photos.

Photos should have date, people in them written and place taken

To which for the petition, all of that effort will be ignored

For the photos I submitted, I put 2 on each page with a typed description of where and when of each pic.  Printed only 10 pics and submitted.
