Copies, unless you don't mind losing the original. You won't get them back.

I printed our digital photos 6 to a page, and typed the date and location under each photo.

In theG-325A when it says 'Applicant's last address outside the United States of more than 1 year.' should I put in my current UK address that I've been at for more than a year?

And where it says on the G-325A:

'This form is submitted in connection with an application for: 1. Naturalization, 2. Status as Permanent Resident, 3. Other (Specify):'

Which should I select for this application?

Oh, and where it says 'File Number A:' is there anything I need to write in that box?

Assuming this is the first time you have been through immigration for a visa then you wouldn't have an A number so could leave it blank. it would be filled in by the USCIS clark when they review the paperwork

Unless you happen to have an A number from some previous US immigration experience, write "None"

I have 4 US passport photos taken yesterday. Shall I send just 1 to my fiancé in America, or will he need more of them in future?

Should I save any for future use, or will they be expired by the time I need them again?

You could send him 2. One for the I-129F package, and one for his wallet.

He won't need any in the future.

I believe any passport-type photos submitted are supposed to have been taken within 30 days. So you'll need new ones later.

One of my all-time favorite questions.

These days most people's "original" photos reside on their mobile phones in digital format. Unless you want to send your unlocked phone along with the petition I suspect that any photos sent will be copies.
