Hi there,
We have our interview in a couple of days.
We called the USCIS customer service line and asked how should we
present our pictures. The lady said that we should select only 20-30
pictures from our wedding and other albums of pictures we took since
we've been together.

I would like to ask those who have already been through the interview :
How did you present your pictures to the imigration officer ?

Another additional question would be whether we need to have another
affidativ of support to present other than the copy of the affidativ of
support that we sent in when we did apply for the change of status/
permanent residency.

We really appreciate your help.
Enjoy your Sunday ! :-)

Play it safe and bring another affidavit of support, it can't
hurt anything.

We had our wedding album (which is quite small) and an envelope with
copies of a few of our wedding pictures, and a few snapshots (we didnt
have many snapshots..)

We brought entire photo albums but selected about 10-15 photos that had
both of us in it, as well as family members on one or both sides, and
made black and white photocopies of those. We ended up just showing the
photocopies - in fact, just the photocopy of the first picture. This
picture had both of us along with my mom and sister and his (husband's)
mom and dad. Our interviewer seemed to be satisfied with just that one
photo and didn't ask to see the rest. She put the photocopy of that
picture in her file.

we didn't take any photo's to our interview. this was not a problem.
we also took a new affidativ of support but this was not required even
though the last one was over a year old.

We took piccies with us - they weren't asked for. We also took along a
new affidavit of support, though it had only been four months since the
original submission, and that wasn't asked for either.

Always best to play it safe than sorry though!

Good luck. :)

We took all our photos with us, 2 wedding albums, plus surprise shower
album, and the officer looked at all the pictures, didn't ask for
nothing else, although we had files with originals and copies of all
documents.

It's safe to take copies of everything and if you have pics. in album,
take the album.

Good luck on your interview.

Hi:

Take those photo albums if you have them. Examination of those albums
is one of the fun parts of the DAO's job. Do take copies of some of the
represantive photos so they have something to put in the file.

If there are no changes in sponsors, bring update tax returns, if
applicalbe. If you are changing sponsors [e.g. dropping a co-sponsor]
or adding alien spouse as joint sponsor, be prepared to the I-864A or a
new I-864 for the new joint sponsor.

Rather than the big wedding album, we did up a small album of about 15
proofs from the wedding. Choose one of the two of us together, scanned
it into the computer and printed it out in color. Went as planned when
the DAO asked us to choose one that she could keep for the file we
directed her to the color printout in the copy folder we had given her.
Worked perfectly for both her and us.
