How to attach photos to I-130?
Ok, I hope I am not being repetitive, but I haven't found this information anywhere yet.
In the guide I bought, it was suggested to add pictures of me and my husband. Does anyone know or can show any example of how to attach/assemble the pictures to the I-130 packet?
1) Can I compose in WordPad (or similar) and color print on normal white paper? If so... does it have to be 1 picture per sheet or can I compose more than one picture on a sheet?
2) Or do I have to make those glossy 4x6 photocopies and write the description on the back of each photo. If so.... Should I put all the pictures in a sandwich ziplock bag, or do I have to put each photo on a different bag and staple it to a sheet with description on the sheet?
Thanks in advance!

You can print several photos per page on regular white paper.

hhee, thanks
Hey Ian, i know it's not required, but it's a suggestion for adding to the bona-fide evidence.
This is the one: The Complete Marriage Green Card Kit: Templates and Tools for Becoming a Permanent Resident of the United States Kindle Edition
I chose this one because it was very detailed.. but sometimes it suggests or recommends a few weird things like: copy of all pages of US citizen passport.
Do you suggest any other guide? A detailed one.. because I didnt like the NOLO one.

I suggest no guide at all. I'm not sure why you're so concerned about this. You are already in the US in valid F-1 status and you're getting married to a USC. Your marriage certificate will prove you are married, and you can't really demonstrate a bona fide marriage because you will only have been married a very short time before sending in the paperwork. On top of that, you're not seeking a visa, you're seeking to adjust status. It's a very easy and straight-forward process.
Photos don't prove a bona fide relationship. They prove only that you were both at the same place at the same time... which is why photos aren't a requirement, and the guide was a waste of money.
Your situation is very common for newlyweds... it's a non-issue.
