Hello,
Someone told me that if you send more than 20 pictures, the application was returned.
Are we supposed to submit only 20 pictures. I have seen people here in the forum who have submitted more than 20 as high as 100 pics.
My friend told me that we need to stick to checklist and it says maximum 20 pics.
Any opinion on this will be highly appreciated.
People used to send hundreds of pics because it was allowed. There was no real maximum so some pretty famous applications would go ahead and include a ton of them (I remember one in particular where they put in 400 pics and the application itself was so big it had to be sent in an actual box).
A few years ago the whole process was reformed and many changes were made that ultimately led to faster processing times and the process itself being more simple and streamlined. This is when the 20 pic maximum was introduced.
They know that any couple, especially in this day and age, probably has thousands of photos of themselves. If they need more than 20, they will ask. Pick 20 that cover as much of your relationship as you can (if you've been together for five years, some from the beginning, some from the middle, up to now), different events (especially important ones like weddings, marriage ceremonies, honeymoon, whatever you had), and also some where you can be seen with each other's family and friends (if possible).
Don't send more than 20. It's unnecessary and goes against their request. If they need more, they will ask.
