Normally when K-2 is under 14 they don't do bio.

I have seen others with K-2 under 14 there had to do bio and just got bio-letter for my 10 year old also.

When did they start with that? Doesn't sounds right for them to do anything they don't get paid for (the $85)

Thank you! I thought they would use the picture we send it with the application?

I guess they have always gotten bio then and I just totally missed it some how :)

If under 14, then they do not need to get fingerprinted or have the background check run, which is what the $85 fee is for that they do not need to pay.

And yeah, the passport photos that you send in are not even what they use. They use the digital photo they take at the bio appt., so not sure why you even need to send in passport photos. I assume it is just more paperwork and red tape that the government just seems to love.
