i130 relationship evidence photos- dates/captions

[MMRF 17]

We are using a lawyer to prepare our forms/package and it's been a bit of a (removed) the whole way.

Now that the package is finally ready to go and we've reviewed it, we are at our wits end with asking them to correct their mistakes. 

 

 

We provided about 15 photos of us together and w/ others and included the date taken and a description of the event/names of others. We assumed they'd do the work to prepare it for presentation.

They put one photo per page w/out a date or description, just the picture by itself.

 

Since there is already been several back and forth's to fix errors, I'm just done with all of this and want to get this damn thing out the door.

If the photos don't have any corresponding information, is that going to be a problem? 

I've read various opposing things such as "you should date and caption all the photos" to "I didn't send any, just provided at interview, no problems."

 

So can we send this as is or what?

People have sent applications with no pictures and have been approved. That being said, knowing myself, I would add the details. In fact, I’d get rid of your attorney and continue on your own.

photos not as important as the time spent (boarding , passes,  hotel receipts, etc)  keep the originals

 

go over the info submmited by attorney (dates u met,  dates u were together ,  DOB's ,  names , )  

don't sign the petition if there are errors

 

u need to keep copies of all the petition and documents for further immigration process(es)

I would submit a FEW pictures with labels.  Concentrate on quality evidence, not quantity.

We never provided photos for anything we have ever submitted

We brought some to an interview once.  Dude was more interested in matching credit cards and house keys.

Unless you have some special issue you’re wasting time on a lawyer.  Yours sounds pretty typical.  You did all the work anyway, you can put the package together better than they can, I’d suggest tossing the lawyer.

I only captioned the pictures my husband brought to the interview. With the I-130, our lawyer sent in about five pictures, and then I wrote a letter to go along with the packet, giving a brief history of our relationship and explaining some of the evidence that was sent in (for example, “pictures with his relatives, pictures during our honeymoon, pictures of holidays spent together” etc). This gives them an overview without having to caption every single picture.

Thanks everyone for all the input. The lawyer ended up updating the package w/ the photo details, so that's that. It's too late to fire them. It's already paid for and we're at the end of this phase anyway. My husband (the beneficiary) wanted to use a lawyer, mostly for any hiccups that might follow the applications I suppose as his case is not super straightforward. It's his money so I wasn't going to argue 😆.
