DS-230 - Now required 2 Passport size pictures?!?!

[virt 0]

I had to send in the originals of some docs required as part of DS-230 .The packet was received at NVC 1/15/08 , reviewed 1/30/08 .However today (1/31/08 ) the automated system said it STILL found info missing. So I call and speak to a rep - who tells me that all the docs were in order BUT unfortunately there was a change in rule ON THE 29th - which now also requires 2 passport size pictures !! GO FREAKIN FIGURE !!!

Anyone else aware of this ? Since the rep said that the change went into effect only as of the 29th - i figure not many peoples might be aware of this .

Not sure it also depends on the beneficiarys country or anything of that sort.

Hope this helps some1 else

That's strange since it always asked for the two photos. I know I had to send two of my husband back in August when I had to send the DS-230 with his other documents.

I'm very sorry for you, but I'm glad you had this RFE too!! We got an RFE on the 29th!!!!!!! for the same reason. I really can't believe this, since I'm 100% sure it's not in the general instructions, so how can they just change something like this.....

Today I send two passport photo's to my husband so he can send them out as soon as he gets the checklist.
