Can you submit it online without a photo? I've taken a passport picture but the dimensions aren't matching and their photo cropper does not function.

 

 

There are apps for your phone that will help resize your passport photos to the size that you need for any occasion. After resizing and it is required to send them on to someone to print these apps make it easy.

You can edit the photo so that it prints 2x2 on a website and just use a quick print station at Walmart or Walgreens etc. or in your country.

To answer your question, yes, you can submit the DS-160 without a photo. It'll tell you to submit the photo at the interview.

I learned the hard way, I hope YOU don't have to. Advice: learn, learn, learn.

I figured that was possible after seeing the message in the failed attempt, but then the dimensions have me worried. It is a passport photo, so I figure it must be fine physically. Thanks to you and Greenbaum for your help.

 

Got other questions but about the education parts this time. I thought I was in the clear as it mentions last five years for employment, but for education it seems to be all-time. That causes some anxiety in me for multiple reasons...

 

The way high school went for me was a school for the freshmans (in American terms), then the next school for the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. As I left the first school, it was abolished and everyone went to the same (second) school. Afterwards I had some courses to finish to earn my diploma, so I went to an adult school which was the first's school location. I know the time period I finished each, but not the exact dates. I have a few questions about that if anyone can answer...

 

1) I realized that all three schools shared a "banner" name of sorts. Is it possible to combine all three, beginning with the first school's start date to the time i officially finished my courses in adult school, with that banner name?

 

2) If I have no idea the exact dates I finished, can I put in estimates?

 

Then another issue pops up...I have some post-secondary school done in college and a trade school. However, they didn't last very long. College was three days in summer of 2014, while the trade school was a month in early 2017. Do I have to include both despite their short and incomplete timespans?

 

Thanks to anyone who responds!
