Stupid question, but does anyone know if the 50 x 50 mm photos you are required to get are the same size as the standard passport photos. I thought they were but my wife swears that the standard Canadian passport photos are 50 x 70 mm. If that's the case, is it going to be hard to find a place that takes other sized photos?

Hello,

My wife is currently filling out the DS-230 Form to submit back to the Canadian consulate after she is finished. At the end of the form, there is a section that states not to write below the following line. It looks like she would sign and check off what type of immigrant she is. We need to mail in the DS-230 form to the consulate and i'm just curious if she really needs to leave this blank before we mail it in. If so, does anyone know when she would actually sign the form?

Cheers,

Thanks for the help so far everyone!

Although i'm not sure if my question has been answered - it's probably the way i'm asking it.

I fully intend to establish domicile by the interview date but am wondering if I can do it after I send in the DS-230 form and checklist. I guess my official question is: am I allowed to do this?

Cheers,

Hi folks,

New to the forum here. How's it going?

My wife and I are currently at the point in our green card process where we need to mail in the DS-230 form along with a checklist specifying that we have obtained all the required documentation. Yet it is my understanding that you do not to actually send in the documentation and only need it for the interview (which would be several months later). My wife and I currently still both reside here in Canada and would essentially need to find and pay for a place of residence for several months while still living and paying for our residence in Canada. It seems like somewhat of a waste of finances. I'm wondering if anyone has simply obtained domicile after they sent in the DS-230 form and checklist but before the interview (maybe a month before). This would greatly cut down on costs and you wouldn't need to pay for two residences in two different countries nearly as long of a time. Is there any reason one cannot do this?

I'm terribly sorry if this sounds like a stupid plan, but the alternative seems quite costly for a couple residing outside of the U.S. until the one officially obtains a green card.

Thanks,

- Tom
