Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

i need a sanity check on this please:
i am thinking of making a collage of the group photos taken on my wedding and valima. so what i am doing is putting 4 pics together in a single 5x7 pic.
will this be doing it too much? plus if this is all good, then would cic have an issue by saying that in the pics we can only see a limited amount of people and not the 400 guests you are talking about in your application?

I wouldn't recommend that. CIC wants the names of all the people in the picture + date + event. Putting it all in a collage would make that difficult and sort of make them question the genuinity of the pictures. Keep them separate, label them as they have mentioned and send them as much pics you can to satisfy the 400 guests that they are asking.. :)

so should i send them like 50 pictures of JUST groups made with the bride and groom for the two days? that would bring the total number of pics that i will be sending to around 120-130.

Send them photos of new faces with the bride and groom not sent earlier. More group photos yes. Also if people are going in or coming out during Barat/rukhsati that is a good shot too since it shows a lot of people. Take shots of people sitting along the tables and stuff and as many far shot pictures you can find along with the other pictures.

so it doesnt matter if the bride and groom are in the photo?

Most of your photos should have the bride and groom. You can add non-bride groom photos and explain at the back as well the section of hall/house.

guys my wife had a mayon a week before the wedding. this event was not attended by anyone from our family and neither did we have any mehndi from our side since we were short on time and had to do a lot of preps since all of my family lives in canada. my wife signed the nikkah during her mayon while I signed it 4 days later in a masjid. When mentioning this do I write all about this or should I write something that she signed the nikkah papers the same day as i did? Does signing the papers days before the groom raise any red flags?
Can someone reply to this query please.
Thanks
