Ours was about 25 pages total, with plenty of wedding and activity photos (about 100). Sponsorship took 14 days, and about a month for the AOR.. Can only hope the rest goes as quick.

I had very little in my package, did not get any help, just kinda read the guide and hoped that I sent everything. I sent about 11 pics, and a few other proofs and just told my story( he's my high school sweetheart) and now I am waiting for
them to return my passport. With me it wasn't quantity, but more the relationship.

I would agree.. Quality over Quantity. We sent in only an overall cover letter, and a relationship proof letter from my wife in her own language (translated, and notarized), and the rest of it was the forms and supporting letters from my boss and relatives. We have been together for over 5 years now, and married for 3, so we have over 8000 pictures which we had to chose from.. to me, 100 was far too many, but I could not decide which ones to trim, so they got bundled and sent off.

It is my opinion that the more proof you include (especially written) will only delay the application especially if it's full of filler.. Why waste the VO's time reading through a novel when they only need a detailed summary?

i had 25 pounds of info... yes quality over quantity but everything was genuine... from day 1 our emails and phone bills... i even had a story of how we met exactly what happened when we were together ...etc...

got approved in 6 months altogether.... :) in my notes officer had written "every evident real marriage etc lots of proof no suspicion at all... all looks great... two love birds"

you are correct. should submit the papers what is more important to show that your relationship is genuine.

I will also include a wedding invitation and pictures from that.

Aside from the necessary documentation and forms from the checklist.
