Hello. I am working on responding to an RFE that wants further initial evidence of Bona Fide marriage.

I only included a few pictures in the initial application, having read somewhere it was not appropriate to include many at that stage.

I have put all the pictures I think are good evidence in a folder but there are over a hundred. I don't have my head wrapped around how to properly submit them in my RFE response because I believe the number of pages is limited. I know they need to be labeled with dates and locations and names of the people in the photograph. But how do I handle a large number of pictures?

About 20% of them are me with my wife and her brother and sister and mother and some with my mother. And the rest are a lot of selfies of my wife and I at different places, or pictures the waiter took of us out to dinner. Is it appropriate to do collages? If not, how many pictures to a page? How do you go about including a large number of pictures in a limited number of pages and tick the boxes that the USCIS people need to check off?

What other considerations need to me on my radar in terms of using all these pictures as proper evidence of bona fide marriage?

Thanks very much to anyone who can take the time to offer helpful advice.

Hello. I am working on responding to an RFE that wants further initial evidence of Bona Fide marriage.

I am just trying to take it one piece at a time. I want to include the right information to establish the time I have spent in the Philippines so far. I have spent a substantial amount of time there, around a year and a half of the last three years.

I have stamps on my passport. I have the airfare receipts in my email. I might still have my actual boarding passes. I have Air B&B receipts, and could take screen shots of conversations with hosts where we supply pictures of our passports to get registered with the buildings. I suppose I could also include credit card statements that show restaraunt receipts.

What is appropriate to include, where do I draw the line? I assume passport stamps are the strongest evidence. But how do I establish they are my passport stamps? A picture of the passport stamp will not include my name or anything. I just need some guidelines on how to put this together and what has worked for others.

Thanks very much in advance.

Prayers for everyone affected by Hurricane Melissa.

I am in the process of filing my I-485. My son is sponsoring my green card. In my birth certificate, my last name is mentioned only with initials (first letter of my last name). This is a common practice where I born, the last name will not be expanded in the birth and school certificates. In my passport and also in all my visa documents, my last name is expanded. My questions are:

1. Will this be considered as a name mismatch because my birth certificate has only the initials of my last name?

2. What can be the potential fix for this situation? Cani add my name with initials in the alternate name section? Should I give an affidavit that both the names are the same?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

My stepdaughter was able to come here on a K2 visa last month.
What happens if she turns 21 and the AOS hasn't been filed yet?

Thanks
