Photos in Spouse visa app

[James Hubbard]

thanks for that information mate. i will also only include photos of the exterior of my house

no probs ...

this works especially well if the outside looks more impressive than the interior

[James Hubbard]

they wouldn't know any different -- unless they checked on google maps street view

Hi mistermatty

We got one of those cheap (in UK terms) photo albums in Phils and inserted our pics under the plastic sheet/cover thingy inside.

I separated them into Trip 1 of 4 (for example) then put in small descriptions
"In Cebu City, 20 March 2009"
"Bohol 22 April 2009 - Meeting XXX's family in XXX" etc.

I think it shows evidence and continuity to do it like this, pictures of the wedding are vital of course.

Just remember you won't get the photos back from the Embassy

Best of luck

Not being rude but did you read my post ??

Yes I did, but IMO, I think it is better to submit photos the way I and most people have done in the past.

If you are happy with A4, that is your prerogative of course.

Best of luck.

mate, i think he was referring to the fact that his wife's visa has already arrived and was approved lol

[somebody]

The easiest way with Digital photos and scanning for taken with film pics, for me was to simply have a few photos printed per a4 or bond paper with as Aposhark says some basic notes if you wish or simply make a note in the cover letter of picture 1 2 3 is if you so wish.
If the pages are printed then the photos cant get detached and you have not lost precious pictures as its unlikely you will get back.

We took pictures and a mini guide of my flat at the time of our application. Why well firstly i wanted to ensure i had done everything i could and also to show the wife

I do know back in 2005 one of the checklists the embassy staff look for was evidence of photos of the couple together but this may have changed.

Best thing to do is paste a few photos in an a4 sheets...it is said on the guidance list that you can provide photos as evidence and it may help convince the vfs to approved your application..

Just make sure you have arranged everything according to their list and inform them as thats what i did. separate the photocopies and tell them its all arranged aswell as with the originals. They only went throught the photocopies and sticked all the original ones in a black big envelop.
