DS-160 online form

[SupportGeek 21]

Ugh,

Well everyone here is so helpful, Im hoping someone has the answers I need again

Ive been filling out the online DS-160 form and every time I try to submit the picture it takes it then tells me:

"Head size or position relative to image dimensions may be incorrect"

It looks correct to me. It isnt one of the same photos I had taken for medical and consulate though, Its a Canadian passport sized one that I cropped down.

I dont have a scanner so Im not sure I can get one of the other physical ones scanned in to try. It says something about submitting a picture with passport, can I just leave the picture out until the interview and hand over the physical ones then?

Also I plan to send in my packet 3 tomorrow, how did some of you send it? Priority next AM that needs a signature? Or 1 Day Xpresspost tracking but no signature?

Hlep!

Did you try just taking a picture of yourself in front of a white background and cropping it down? That's what I did and the program accepted it first try.

But, if you can't get it to work then you can submit it blank and bring an extra passport photo to the interview with you. There have been several people in the past that couldn't get the photo section to work and didn't have a problem doing this. So don't worry! It can be rectified at the interview really easily.

If you send the package to Montreal's regular mailing address its a P.O. Box, so getting the signature really isn't necessary. If you want you can submit it to their physical address and use the signature option. I sent mine from the US when I was vising my husband and used priority international sent to the P.O. Box without signature confirmation. Whatever you decide, make sure you get the tracking! Otherwise you'll drive yourself nuts wonder if and when they received it.

dont worry about it. mine did not work and i just got an extra passport one to bring with me to interview i sent mine by expresspost and it took 3 days to get their and the tracking was all screwy so dont worry bout that either! lol.

Ohh, yea I'll try and find a white wall and take a pic, since I live alone that could be an interesting use of camera placement and timing

Otherwise, i have an extra anyhow when I got the US sized ones earlier, so in a pinch, that will do.

Im just fairly neurotic about wanting to be sure Im doing it all right, and no mistakes, then I second guess myself and think I could be messing the whole thing up with one comma in the wrong place or something. Makes me crazy, the wait is long enough without my clumsiness adding anything to it haha

Thanks so much Hugglebuggles and Kimbear!
