Interview on 7/7

[erose 0]

Okay, so we are finally (after 3 years of paper shuffling) on our way to the interview. I was told by my lawyer Gary needed two passport style photos for the interview. Gary is insisting that he needs different photos of certain requirements and is trying to find a place that does them. Anyone know what sort of photos these are supposed to be, because I'm searching the embassy website trying to find them. The lawyer also advised to have documents showing we keep in contact (e-mails, letters, ect...) and evidence Gary has been in the UK for the last 3 years (three documents per year), as well as photos, his 2 passport photos, and his birth certificate. Anything else we will need for the interview??? Or what is this mystery picture format????

Thanks for your time!!!

Wish us luck!!!!!

"Different photos of certain requirements"? The only requirement is that they be passport style photos. That's it. The kind you originally took and sent in with the I-129F.

if he is freaking out over the picture format here is a link where he will find the format of passport picture... http://travel.state.gov/pdf/Photo%20Guide%2010-01-04.pdf

just go to any photo studio and ask for Visa photos.. thats what I did.. I only needed a different photo style for the medical exam.. but for the visa its just passport style!.. hope that helps..

I was freaking out a bit about the pictures too...

If you're in the UK, Snappy Snaps does US-sized passport photos, as wel as this shop on Oxford St, supposedly. I would trust Snappy Snaps more, as they're a big chain here.

I hope your interview wasn't on 7/7 and you are just now 9/2 asking about this.....

In the UK there is apparently a chain called "Snappy Snaps" that will do US style passport photos. (see simultaneous post... hah)

The difference is that the UK style are slightly smaller. he needs ones which are 2in x 2in

Where did Gary live before he was in the UK for the past 3 years? Is he a UK citizen? Was he born in the UK? Advice about what else to prepare for the interview depends on those answers.

He will need to provide his police certificate. There is a link to that website on the Embassy website that he will get from the embassy inviting him to apply for the visa based on your approved petition.

Here are a bunch of links for you...
