So we have our package all put together, duplicated and ready to send off to begin the process, but just before we do that, I have a couple of questions I want to be sure on before we mail it off.

1: The photo of me (beneficiary) were taken using a UK Photo booth and are the regulated passport style size for the UK. I know American passport photos however are in a slightly different format/size. Will my UK passport photo be acceptable or will I need to send one in the American size? I had a couple taken just as a back-up when I was last visiting. My fiancee's (petitioner) photo is in the American format, just to clarify.

2: My passport photo, along with the forms I have filled out, were signed and dated some time ago, August 2012, along with the forms the petitioner has filled out. Will that prove to be a problem sending them off now? My circumstances and hers have not changed at all since filling them out originally.

Thanks in advance! :o

1) You'll need to send photos in American sized as the instructions are for an American visa.

2) The photos must have been taken within 30 days of filing your application. See 6B here: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-129finstr.pdf

And in regards to the forms dated from August, does the same limit the photos have apply to them too?

Well, I don't think the forms need to be recent. But you might as well make everything as recent as possible. Though, I don't think they absolutely have to have a recent date.

You need US passport photos, not UK.

Yep and as long as the photos reasonably depict what you will look like at the interview; don't worry about when they were taken.
