Spidercat Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 As part of the bona fide marriage part proof, we have about 30 photos documenting our 9 year relationship, including the past 4 years of marriage (2 wedding cermonies too).Do I just include them loosely in all the paper work, or should I tape them to sheets of paper so they can be punched and bundled by USCIS?Currently, I'm planning on giving them a heap 'o paperwork with a cover letter for them to bind as the please - they seem to be so darn picky. Is that ok? Link to comment
Doug Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I don't know a thing about DCF, but I would just print them on paper, or lay them out on a copy machine and print them on regular paper. Take the originals to the interview in a book small enough to pass through the little opening in the winder, like at a bank. Of course maybe you got another set for them and you don't care.

Randy W Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yes - best to stick with the standard paper size (whether A4 or 8 1/2x11 or both), and NOT submit anything loose. But you COULD even put them into a baggie, and attach THAT to a piece of paper. Printing them onto a standard page will give the nicest stack of paper. Link to comment
Spidercat Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks guys!So printing them on paper... does it have to be in color or could it be black and white? Link to comment
dnoblett Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 If the pictures are digital and you have access to a color printer and a computer paste the pictures into a document and print it out in color, you can even make notations below each picture as to who is in the picture, place and date they were taken. Also include a few of you with spouses family. Link to comment
llamagatekeeper Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Just go to any old photo shop and bring a thumb-drive/USB stick with the pictures on it. Print off in collage format or individually. This is assuming you are doing DCF and in China as the prices here in the mainland are way cheaper! I just printed them off in collage format and laminated them and then paper clipped them to the whole package. Honestly, the VO will take apart everything and put stuff together how they want it. It doesn't matter how you bind anything as it seems they will do their own binding/envelop after you submit your documents. Link to comment
Spidercat Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks. We have already printed all the pictures at the photo shop this past weekend. I have an appointment this Thursday to submit the I-130, so we'll include the photos and print them again if needed. Like mentioned by llamagatekeeper, printing them in China is pretty affordable.

jwdoetsch Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I submitted 35 5"x7" photos when I DCF'ed. I wrote information on the back of each photo and put them all in a zip-lock type bag. They were accepted just fine when I submitted the petition. Link to comment
lhp Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 When we DCF'd we took a stack of photos with a rubber band around them. The CO flipped through them, took some out, and gave us the rest back. They were all returned to us when we finally got the visa. 1 Link to comment
