So my husband lives in South Africa . I am the US citizen . I had a question on how to prepare pictures for the interview . We are only 8 months into USCIS review . So we got time .

 

we file June 12 of last year and prior to filing we physically met 6 times already. I flew to SA.

After filing we met two more times. Once  In SA and then  we met up in Thailand for honeymoon.

 

when preparing for interview should I prepare the pictures in order by trip 1-8  or does it matter  or Just put marriage pictures and honeymoon pictures first?I am getting mix answers. Some people say you want to show how your relationship evolved. Others say you want to show the importance first . The first time when we met physically we were only friends On trip 1.

 

other question

 

I thought about putting all pics in a whole doc and just clip them all together. Instead of putting them in album is that fine ?

 

Any suggestions 

 

 

 

 

 

I wouldn’t worry about photos at the interview stage. Your husband can take some NEW photos if you visit him between NVC stage and interview but otherwise it shouldn’t be necessary. They probably won’t take the photos when he gets to the embassy, they’ll be more interested in civil documents and financial support.

I put my pictures in a Word doc and wrote captions under each picture

I mostly give answers here based on My personal experience or persons I know. In my case I bought a regular 32 page small rectangular album (it holds 1 photo per page,front and back) you know the classic albums 😎. I filled it with pictures in any order (they will always randomly flip through because they won’t sit and go through all the photos during the interview) wrote on the back with little intros. At My interview at the embassy, the IO requested the whole album, looked through and asked the names of a few people at our wedding,that was it. Yes they kept My album too 😂.

I am putting together pics for interview and everyone has different opinions like you supposed to be two pics per page . But I am putting like 6.

 

my question is can I bring the format in landscape format paper like the example I attach my wedding pics ? I hear mostly a4 but I find this format better for me . Just want to make sure it’s ok .

You can easily arrange those 6 phobia into portrait orientation and should do so.

If I made 10 trips to my husband country and the first trip in 2018 was when we were just friends. 

 

Should I just print only these 

 

2-3 photos during the time we first met at friends 

 

2-3 photos our marriage ceremony 

 

2-3. Photos wedding celebration with family and friends 

 

2 photos when we flew to Thailand on honeymoon 

 

Is that it ? Should I still have more photos like back up just in case they ask . 
 

also should I include when I went to my hubby college graduation with his parents?

That’s plenty of photos.
