Hi, All. This forum is very informative and I wish I would know this place before my I485 filing...

Here is my story: I admit its my mistake. We married 3 and half years ago in California. I promised my wife a big fat wedding back in my country but so far I couldnt make it. My excuse was not that trying to save the world, but I was so dedicated to my job. Not until recently, I realized that I had to ask my wife to sponsor my PR application after years long waiting for my Labor Certificate...

Anyhow, Im facing the problem that we dont have wedding pictures for my green card interview. We have all other documents ready, such as 3 years joint filed tax records, bank statements, joint credit cards account, photos we took together on campus 7 years ago, etc....

Some friends suggest me to have a quick wedding before next month (Nov.) interview. But I already plan a big one next spring. Plus, I hate to have a wedding just for my green card. My question is: is that really a big deal not to have wedding pictures? How to convince interviewer to strongly believe my marriage?

Thanks for reading my story and any suggestions are truly welcome.

it is one piece of evidence, but not all that important. Do bring pictures of the two of you though and all of the other stuff. Do not worry though, some officers wont even ask to see any pictures.

I agree that its not a big deal.I dont know if you planned on it,but I would also get affidavits from family and friends saying that your marriage is genuine.

Great question... was curious about this myself.... we just had a small wedding, only four people.
