We're sending out our application out for the AOS/EAD next week.

As far as the passport pictures are concerned - they should be standard size, white background, and 2 for AOS - 2 for EAD, right?

If this is correct - should they be in a plastic ziploc bag like when we sent them for the K1 visa?

09/2006 - Apply for K1

03/2007 - K1 approved

04/2007 - Apply for AOS & EAD

07/2007 - EAD approved

01/2008 - Conditional Residency approved

11/2009 - Apply to remove conditions

02/2010 - Permanent Residency approved

11/2010 - Apply for Citizenship

03/2011 - Citizenship approved

07/2011 - Moved back to Brazil

I don't think it is...from what I've heard, the picture taken at your Biometrics appointment is the one that goes on your GC.

Nope, the picture they take of you at the biometrics is what goes on the Green Card. I can attest to this because in the photos I sent them I looked vaguely human, whereas on my Green Card I don't.

I think I do actually look more human in the biometrics picture! Well, at least I hope so, or else thats embarrassing.

In that case, I'm glad to be corrected, because the pictures I sent for AOS look pretty horrible. :)

My pictures I sent in (same one on my K3) look decent but I'll have to remember to put on some makeup and brush my hair at least when I go for my biometrics. :P
