I don't know how is in her country, but here, i have brought a copy of the Guide where the detailed measurment of the picture is explained to the professional photograph and still made sure he get it, explaining him those requirements are very strict otherwise i'll have to come back...and it will make delays....Like in everything in this proceedure, all is about explaining a lot and requesting clearly what we want i suppose! Good luck to her!!!!

My wife's fotos came from Foto Japon en Bogota and so far I haven't rec'd an RFE, not saying one isn't on the way soon. God, I hope not. My photo from Walgreens here was a bit smaller as well, if you really feel uncomfortable or think they are too small, have them retaken, for about $2 US and $26 to send them Fedex (4 days it took), it may be worth the peace of mind.

Good luck

If the photosize difference is clearly noticeable, then you are better off getting the new picture with right measurements.

I think they are just going to deny your visa, sorry.

hahahaha...just kidding buddy....did you get my email? Nice to meet you, and like I said...it is probably all good but I had the same problem and made him retake them immediately, for free, and I took the sheet home and cut them myself. Of course, I'm not good with numbers so I would have been better off with the first set I'm sure...lol

Where'd you get them? We used the Foto Japon just off Calle 72 next to the courtyard restaurants and little casino.

Absolutely man...keep in touch...and keep an eye on my signature - if you are in town for one of my upcoming visits we should get together, and the first round(s) are on me!

My husband's photo, taken in the UK, was also smaller than the standard US 2x2. The instructions on the form said it had to be "passport style" but the description that followed referenced only the white background, the glossy finish, and the dimensions for the subject's head. As the photo Richard sent me fit these requirements, we thought it would be okay.

I was under the impression that the only time the 2x2 was absolutely required was for the visa itself, which comes later. Am I wrong? Now I'm a bit worried, but I don't want to send another photo if it isn't required and will only confuse things. I sent a smaller photo for the I-129F as well.

So I guess these are my questions: who else here used a smaller photo that met the other requirements and has already moved through to the NVC? Anyone here had an RFE for a small photo? Once the I-130 moves onwards, could the photo still present a problem (ie, the NVC has a problem with it but USCIS didn't mind)?

I really thought I had sent a perfect packet. *sigh*
