Foreign fiancee passport and photo

[Chris M 1]

Hey all,

I have a question and hope I am in the right forum here. I am sitting here in Cairo waiting to come back to the US tonight and we are now officially engaged. We both could not be happier. So now the fun begins. So we met in Egypt, and everything went great, but there were concerns about her passport. A month ago we tried to go to Paris, but her visa was denied. Essentially when the French embassy called her manager at work to ask about her employment he was not there to talk, so rather than call back later they said, "Next." So she now has a stamp in her passport they probably says in French, "Visa was deined for France." So moving forward we decided on Egypt and less than a month later here we are in Egypt. She went home yesterday and I am heading back tonight. Had a wonderful time, but she had a concern about the French stamp saying her visa was denied. Our question is does she need a new passport so that stamp is not in there now? She thought it would be a good idea to get a new one because of the French, but now she has an Egyptian visa in this one which obviously will not transfer. Should we worry about this, or will she need a new one? I looked in the application guide and there really was nothing that said we need to show a copy of the passport for the application. However this may not be true for the interview and she may be asked baout it.

Also I must have not seen in the guide where it says she needs a passport sized photo for the application. I never thought about asking her to bring one, or even getting one when we were here. Is there a ways she could email me the passport photo so I can make the copy, or is it acceptable to look at the many pictures we too and try to find one that meets the specs? I'm sure she could take a bunch herself and then email them to me and I can use one from there. I'm sure we could use DHL or FED Ex to send the photo, but as most of you probably know the Russian mail is slow as hell. Not to say ours is much better.

Thanks again for the help.

Visa denial to France will not affect her chances of a family based visa to the USA...

Us has particular passport photo specifications (you can google for the specs)... she/you can do it yourself or she can go and have some taken... chances are that you do not have anything current that is within specification...

She'll also be needing to sign a G325a form and a letter of intent. Start with the K1 guide and I-129F instructions. Study and follow them carefully. She can mail all three items together when they are ready.

thanks guys... I actually brought the letter of intent and G325 with me when we met and she signed them, so in that aspect it helped. so now she will just need the new passport photos. I don't know how I missed that. Oh well. We learn. thanks again guys.

For the passport pic , she can send you a photo by e mail and you can print it on those machines that is now in all the markets like walt mart , the kodak machine have the size of the photo and also passport pics , just be sure for follow the steps of passport picture and you can save money on the delivery And she can do the same and send it to you but . . a quick e mail to you is faster!

good luck!!!
