We are going through the checklist before submitting the documents to NVC, I insisted my husband should add my passport photographs,but he said NVC did not include passport photograph on the list sent to him and because of that he will not include it,as he strictly wants to follow their instructions and doesn't want to add what was not asked for,im surprised cuz on every website I have checked and even on visajourney,i keep seeing passport photographs as part of the list of requirements,did NVC make a mistake or do these lists vary from person to person?

Are you the beneficiary? If so they do ask for passport photos. There is nothing wrong with sending extra. It would be better to be prepared then underprepared and risk getting a checklist.

Met in and lived in beneficiary's country 2010-2012

Black and white is fine. Don't worry so much just follow the instruction on the NVC website and you will be fine.

Good luck

Hello!

NVC does not require passport photographs. You will definitely need them at the embassy for the interview, also at the clinic for the medical examination.

Black and white copies are great. They just have to be clear and legible.

Best!

For my wife's medical, they took 6 passport photographs and just 1 for the interview. However, she had extras with her just in case.
