Hey All,

Having a bit of argument with my hubby about whether or not 2" x 2" pics would be acepted by USCIS if printed out from home PC.....Has anybody done this before...and if so what was the voirdict from USCIS? Did you get an RFE for different pics or not?

Thanks so much!

OH! BTW...I'm helping a friend of mine get his things together to file his K-3 for his wife......thanks again!

Thats what i used, 2X2 from my computer, they looked like passport pics

Im not too sure to be honest, however I am of the opinion that it is better to be safe than sorry.. is it really worth risking an RFE ??

Best of luck !

Costco does passport photos for like $7.00 for 2 pictures.... so why risk it.

0ops i forgot to say i bought a passport pic programme for $5.99 from a link somone posted here on VJ, it worked realy good

Thanks so much!

Did you actually use the pics from your computer yet?? I am curious because when I got my passport to come to England back in 2004, I used photos from Wal-Mart because they do passport photos. I sent in my passport application and it got denied on account of the photos. I then went to the postoffice who in my area is where you go to fill out your passport application, they told me there that the government are very picky about the photos that get sent and that most passport applications get refused when they are done at Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Eckerds, etc..I didn't want to use the post office the first time because the pics cost 15 dollars at the time. I honestly wouldn't risk sending in pics that are not generated by the post office or by any other agency that does the actual passport application. It cost me a) the price of the original pics plus the price of the new pics =$22.00 b.) the price of the first passport application and the price of the second application for which I had to pay 80$extra to have it expedited on accnt of the fact that I was leaving in 3 weeks=350$....moral of the story??? Don't muck about when it comes to the US government and needing anything important from them. Use proper photos..why risk it even if you got away with it the first time or the second time???

Well....I'm not doing it for me....my friend is trying to do it the cheap way...his wife is in the Philipinesand e-mailed him her pic--but the Philipines are like Morocco as far as size of thier own passport pics.....the hieght is good just the width is off.....

I personally used Walmart and had no problems with neither the I-130 nor the 129f.....guess I was lucky....
and we're using walmart for hubby's AOS

thanks for all the input!

I used that programme to make the pictures for my medical , my K3 visa & my CR1 visa , no problems at all, i got a friend to take a few pictures of me with a white backgroung, then made them on the programme
