how to organize the addictional information such as pictures etc?

Hi, I was just wondering how you all formatted your whole application, like the pictures or testimonies or whatever else you included... it just seems like so much stuff that you could make a whole scrapbook out of it. Should we glue or staple the pictures to a page and write descriptions? should we do a timeline of the whole relationship with the photos, rental receipts, testimonies, cards, letters etc along the way???
I just don't know where to begin with all of that.... did you put them all in order in a folder?

one more question- for the translation of all the documents, does an english teacher who speaks spanish as a first language count as a translator? they are capable of it and all but I am just not sure if that would be acceptable.

Thanks!

Hi.

I put all the passport photos in one envelope and all the others in another, the ones i that had to be but on the papers i clued or paperclipped, if you have documents, i think i would clip them onto the relevant papers.

I'm not sure about the translators.....but i would guess that you have to get an accredited translating service to do it.

No scrapbooks and no albums are allowed, and I suspect you shouldn't glue the pictures on a page either. Many people have written on the backs of pictures or stuck a post-it note with the caption. Many people paper clip everything in groups. Some people have been told not to staple. Others have stapled and had no complaints. Since everything has to be unbound it seems best to maybe put them in folders and put all the folders in an envelope.

For official documents, I think you need some sort of certified translator. For personal stuff, anyone can do it.

My advice... don't put anything ADDICTIONAL!
