Is the NVC fussy about passport type photos?

[visaveteran1 33]

I understand the photos must be in color and 2" x 2" (5 cm v 5 cm). Correct? Anyone get a RFE because of photos sizes etc? Is the NVC fussy about the photos?

I don't really know. I sent the Ja standard passport pics. Did not measure them or check the NVC specs and did not get a RFE. Good luck

I have a feeling that they probably are. The Fed is a stickler for rules.

Your best bet - is to go to a reputable photo place, and tell them you need a photo for a US Visa (if abroad. They should know EXACTLY what you need. If they don't, then go somewhere else) - or - go to any photo place in the USA and ask them for passport photos. Just about anywhere has a computer with the templates for printing.

I've got professional photo gear here, *BETTER* than what the photo place uses - but - I didn't take any chances. I had the people who do it everyday do my pictures.

I wouldnt say that they are fussy. i think its ok if u send them pictures bigger than 2 ' x 2 ' ..they wont complain... maybe they wont accept smaller ..And yes they should be color..white background ..etc

I sent them pictures much bigger than 2 " x 2 " ....(plus my daughter pictures was a bit blurry but i sent it anyway.).. because i didnt have others at the moment.. and NVC accepted them..

Good luck

It gave exact directions on what they wanted for a photo. Why would you deviate from what they requested? You are optimistic to take a chance on submitting anything different then what they request.

You will probably get an RFE, because that is just the type of negativity you will attract to yourself.

dont think it would be something that u should worry about.

They can always ask sh*t later.
