Hi

Does anyone know when submitting all the extra documents in support of visa application of the photos can be on a CD / memory stick or if they need them all printed out?

Thanks

When making an application for my wife in January this year, we submitted about 800 photos on CD then just printed a selection from those - 24 specially relevant pictures with captions stating date & location/event - on to A4 sheets on our home printer, 6 photos per page.

My reasoning was that printing 800+ photos was a complete waste of paper - also would have made the app. FAR too bulky - and the selection showed everything necessary. If the ECO wanted dates for pictures or thought the number insufficient, they were available on the CD. As it turned out, the CD was never removed form its wrapper so the printed photos were good enough it seems.

Hope this helps.

Martin.

ECO's will not look at photos other than those supplied as hard copies.

The reason the cd wasn't removed from it's wrapper was because UKBA staff will not use cd's or memory sticks on their computers because of the danger of importing a virus. In fact UKBA computers in the UK didn't have the facility to load cd's and memory sticks.

When supplying photos, and indeed all documentary evidence, you are giving the ECO indicitive evidence, they are not going to plough through hundreds of photos, just supply a sufficient range of photos to evidence the application.

ok

thanks for the advice

trip to the photo shop it is then ........
