Marriage photos

[scaroflead]

Hi,

My husband and I have just filed for his papers. We do not have much evidence at this point since his visa has expired in the meantime and we took our sweet time filing. At this point, we've got a lot of photos of us together and with our friends. However, most of these don't feature us posing for the immigration, we didn't even know about this requirement.

We have pictures from parties, bbqs, shows, etc. Some of them have just the two of us, the rest though do not. For example, i have a photo of him eating sushi, or a whole bunch of photos where we're posing in an art gallery but successively. Also, we have a lot of pictures from our house, BBQs or parties, where we aren't necessarily hugging and kissing but we're both present with a lot of mutual friends.

What should we do or focus on? This whole process seems to require extra effort to do the things we normally wouldn't do. At the moment, if we were to get a phone plan together, we would end up paying more than we do. Does this mean that everywhere we go, on a daily basis, we need to find someone to take pictures of us while we're posing or what?

You don't need any hugging or kissing photos for immigration purposes.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.


It's still a bit confusing.

At the moment, we have got a lot of photos from the same events where either one of us is present with our mutual friends. We have less where both of us are present but with these same friends. Would it make sense to bring all of these and present them? We will keep this in mind and pose together, but still....

I guess what i'm trying to say is - how often, and how purposeful do we need to take photos? Is it like every day "here's us going shopping" "here's my wife choosing apples" "here's my husband ordering a cut of meat", or more like "here's us on a trip to santa cruz", or the usual pace... which is not all that frequent.

How many photos is advisable to bring?

hello

I have been married 14 years and you would think i would have tons of pics to show of us together. Well i had maybe 30.
Most of the time i am the one behind the camera since I am a photographer on the side.

I did managed to get pics of throughout the years and some of us with our kids. I made sure and made a paper copy of all of them (they will keep your original ones if you dont have a copy)

Anyway i took everything to the interview and he didn't even ask to look at them. So it all depends on who you get. By the grace of God we got a really nice man. Good luck and the best thing to do is Relax.

forgot to add

Our pics ranged from just standing beside each other to standing in a group of people. Also had some of us kissing caus that all i could find.
Basically if he was in the pic and i was then i took it.
I read somewhere you can take pics wearing different outfits at different places if you dont have many.
