Photos for proof of relationship - how did you do it?

[SuiGeneris]

Hey guys,

I'm just curious, how did you assemble your photos? Did you use a program to combine several on a page? Did you use original 4 x 6 prints? Did you photocopy original photos? How many photos did you include?

I don't own a printer, don't own a computer, and I don't have any physical photos of my husband and I, lol. So I gotta pay 19 cents a photo at Walmart just for this.

I chose photos on special kinda occasions ( birthday, family gathering, camping/travel together etc) and printed each of them 4x 6 wrote short info at the back of each photo (when ,where etc)

sent about 30 pics (been together for 3 years at that time )

We used Microsoft Word to arrange the pictures on letter sized paper. I believe we placed 4 photos on each paper. We printed it out black and white. I tried to type a short description under each photo but it just drove me crazy. So once we printed it out, I wrote down the month and year and a short description of where and when it took place and the people we were with.

We included maybe 30-40 pictures? Bulk of that came from our wedding. We made sure to include several photos that have the same company in different occassions. We made sure to include photos that could show that we've grown older together. We included photos from different roadtrips/outings. Also photos that showed that I visited him in Canada and while we were together in the Philippines where we met.

I did the same as floomy, printed the photos and wrote a blurb.
Many people put 4 photos to a page in a word document and type an explanation. Either is acceptable.
As long as you don't put pics in albums or frames or on memory card!!

We numbered about 70 photos on Microsoft Word and included descriptions/dates next to each of the photos. It ended up being 20 pages. We printed in color on regular copy paper. We made sure to include plenty of photos with family and friends.

since i'm a class A paranoid, we sent around 100 photos, 2/A4 page, in colour, each one of them having a description underneath.
example:
Date: ...
Persons in the photo: me (personal applicant), X (sponsor), Y (sponsor's mother), Z (P.A.'s father), etc
Location: ...

however, i'm glad i did all this, it saved me the trouble of an interview and got us approved fast considering our VO's timeline better safe than sorry.
we met 1 year before we married and sent the app 1 month after we married, so i was a bit concerned obviously. it all depends on your relationship and VO. some are more lenient than others.

Sent 20 hard cover photos with a description on who's in it and where we were in the back of it. Contained wedding, pics of family, and holidays, straight forward and simple and basic.

SuiGeneris, i'd follow what the others did since you're a U.S. applicant.

if you want more guidance on how to organize photos and all the other stuff in the app, you can check this thread, helped me a lot:

I did the exactly same thing

I think the key to this is not the quantity of pictures, first we selected 3 pics for each mayor event or trip we took together, Except the Wedding where we put in 5 photos.

in total it was not that many, I'd say maximun 30 photos worth of 4 years of our relationship. Printed them in the cheapest size I could find in a walmart kiosk and a decent size (I think 4x3 inches or something like that), spent less than $10 dollars on these.

at the back of each photo I wrote the date, ocation, and who was in the photo. I put each ocation on a separate envelope just to organize it better.

$10 is not that much, and you dont kill your printer ink doing this.

How are you printing off all the PR application pages?

Arrange the pictures 2-4 to a page with captions in a document file on a computer (borrow a friends?). Then just bring the file on a USB to any Kinkos or similar store, and print out the pages in color. You can even do this at a computer at a printing store as long as you have electronic pics on a digital camera or USB.

Since you don't own a computer and you don't have a printer,you have no choice but to go and print off the photos and write on the back who is in the photo and date it if possible when it was. You are on a computer or phone when you asked this question, if you have photos on your phone you can still print photos from that at walmart .

I sent originals, that I had a drug store print off for me, and on the back labeled who was in the picture, the date and where it was taken.

We sent in 15ish loose 4x6" photos. Each photo was described on the separate sheet attached to the 'Sponsored Spouse / Partner Questionnaire'. There were many 'see attached photo'.
