When you going to the interview and you want to have a folder of  pictures of the relationship. When it comes to things me and fiancé did together. Can we put like for example the picture the  name of the place and when it was taken. Cause I have receipts of some of things we did not all though 

 

does the folder can have 

 

communications 

things we did together 

family and friends 

wedding plans 

I am I missing something 
 

When I went for my K1 interview in May 2019, I brought pictures of me and my then fiance with captions such as date, place and the people in the picture as I have photos of us with my family.

 

I believe our case was strong and without any red flags but the CO asked for a photo anyway and I gave him the pile with all our pictures. He looked at all of them, took one page with two photos (out of 10 pages) and put it in my file folder.

 

Fast forward to my AOS 4 months later, I saw the same picture in my file the interviewer got. He said that it helps to have pictures on file so he told me to print it in a paper instead of bringing a photo album.

 

Hope this helps!

Sounds good 

 

that’s what I am afraid of we got so many pictures that I get overwhelmed on how to prepare all this.

Just pick ones with you and your fiance and with other people spread throughout the time that you were together within two years of meeting.

Just print two pictures on one page with caption at the bottom.

10 pages of it (20 pictures in total) should be more than enough.

CO might ask for it, they might not. But it is always good to have it just in case they asked for it.

We weren't asked for anything additional at the interview either. I am the USC and I went to be with my now-husband for our interview. I think our interview was about 5-10 minutes. It was very clear from the interview that we were approved before we got there.  Most of the time, they are decided beforehand. So if you have not started the process and want to include something, send it with your application.

Question when it comes to the above information you mention about having 20 pages total with two pictures on each page. My question is this 

 

we met in 2018 but were not dating until my second trip may 2019 . So when submitting pictures do I tale out like 4 -5 pictures starting in 2019


like example 

 

2019- may 

5 picture of me and fiancé 

5 pictures with friends 

5 pictures of family together 

 

2019-December 

5 picture of me and fiancé 

5 pictures with friends 

5 pictures of family together 

 

2020-December 

5 picture of me and fiancé 

5 pictures with friends 

5 pictures of family together 

 

then this coming July 2020 going back 

5 picture of me and fiancé 

5 pictures with friends 

5 pictures of family together 

 

like pictures total from all my trips from the time we starting dating to propose

I wasn't asked for photos when I was interviewed last month, however, a recent reviewer for the same Consulate that I had attended, had said that they were asked for photos. I thought it best to err on the side of caution so I prepared a package showing our communication from the time we filed up until the day or so before the interview. Had I been asked for it, I would have been able to provide it on the spot.
