I'm smiling in my passport style photo. Will I get an RFE?

I've had 7 addresses in the past 5 years, and there is only room for 6 on the G-325A form. I see that there are 4 forms where I have to fill out the same info over and over again. What the heck am I supposed to do? Should I file a separate page for each form with my oldest address from 2004?

Use separate forms and put "see attached" for all your addresses. Always use current on top then next current and so forth til the oldest is the last one, just like a resume (employment wise) where you put your current one on the top. On the "See attached" form, make sure you specify the number question it is assigned to. Sign and date it at the bottom for any loose forms. All 4 forms must contain the same exact information, so yes you will have to write it or type it out (print it out) 4 times... I dont think you will get an RFE for your photos unless USCIS is that strict on photos, youll just have to wait and see but I doubt it...If you havent sent out your K1 application yet, just retake your photos to be on the safe side. I bet you got like $20 to spare for passport photos (considering thats the most it should cost you) instead of taking a chance on your RFE notice.Might as well fix any problems now then wait later and have it fixed.

I always smile in passport photos--real passport and those submitted to USCIS. No problems.

Actually, when I was going into the US Embassy London, the security guy was looking at my passport for a long time. The picture is really dark and the hairstyle is very different. I said, "I have different hair now, but see <points to mouth> the smile is the same" and flashed him a big smile. He smiled back and said, "Your hair looks better now" and handed me the passport. That worked.

As long as your smile is a "natural expression" and not over the top, then you should be fine...

The photos that they are the strictest about are the ones you submit to the consulate that will actually be used for your visa.

Hi there!

I just finished filling in my G-325a.

Put all your information in on the first page and then check the next three pages - it will automatically copy the information from the first page for you.

If it were me, I'd just list all my addresses on a separate sheet of paper - starting from my present address and then work backwards. We did this with some nformation for the I-129F and just put "see additional information sheet attached" in the space for the information. Remember to put the relevant heading on the additional information sheet. Maybe something along the lines of ...

G-325A, Biographic Information

Supplemental Information for Applicant's residence last five years.

If it were me, I'd make four copies of the additional information sheet and put one behind each of the four copies of the G-325a.

Paranoid at getting an RFE for not having enough copies? Me? Never!!

Hope this helps and good luck!!

Exactly. Can you have frown in a passport picture?
