Pictures to pass--loose or glued?

[Pinkblush]

I submitted all of our photos nicely arranged on a piece of standard sized computer paper... I glued them down and wrote my descriptions on the sides or underneath each photo. Just seemed more organized to me. I left the entire application pretty loose as suggested by many CIC agents. I think I used many 1 or 2 paper clips for the entire thing. The more and more I read up on here, the more I see I shouldn't have gone that route. Too late now.

Youll be fine as long as its not in an album or frame or scrapbook..i got 2 coworkers at work where they glued it and they got approved..maybe cic hates sending a bulky package back..hmmmm

I sent them in albums. but i asked them back & said that those are very valuable for me & then they gave them back to me. how ever i have to resend some more pictures & 1 of my friends told me to print all the pictures on A4 papers (photocopy papers) & explanation underneath on each picture & 2 pictures on 1 paper. its a good idea & the package wont be too much heavy too.
you can do it with corel draw easily

Thanks for the idea!!! Sounds more organized!

Resend pictures? Meaning they need more evidence? I spent $55 on my 300 pictures. I dont really care if they send it back as long as the visa gets approved..but then who would want our pictures? Hahaha..yeah my cousin got her pics back though she submitted loose. Its just too thick to submit 300 loose pics alone and not glue them! Looks so disorganized..Good thing they accepted your album cos they said they dont want any containers

I can't explain how relieved to know that i'm not the only one who went on a rampage and printed over 300 pictures (technically i had over 700 but i cut a lot out...), and i just finished labeling the back of the last pic today... three days... it took me three days :-\ . Like most people said, KEEP EM, lol. As long as we get home to our spouses safe and sound, i'll print more out later. Hope they have fun reading some of my comments... tee hee...

hanha haaa thats why they may have sent my albums back to me
but dear this is the 1st time you are going to submit your pictures. so dont worry to sent many of the pictures. bcoz when its come to applicant's country VO, they may ask for more evidence to prove your marriage , relationship is genuine. so you have to update your communication proof, photos etc...

I wanted to glue them, tried with a few pics and it gave me a sore neck! so i told myself maybe i should write at the back..I tried to write the captions with a pen at the back of the pics thinking i can save time but the pen doesnt write well since that part is shiny!!! I ended up pissed! Now here i am thinking of gluing them again..grrrrr..

Try using a pen for writing on CDs/DVDs. They are intended for writing on plasticy type surfaces. That's what I used and it worked well
