Hi all,

For those of you who have been through the K1 visa process with your UK fiance, how many passport photos did you both need throughout the whole process?? Thank you

Well, I am counting here on my fingers:

2 of each of you for the filing of the I-129F (for forms G 325A)

1 for your fiance's medical

2 for your fiance's interview day

and then for AOS I believe it is 6 for your fiance (AOS, EAD, AP ; 2+2+2= 6)

So if you are planning to do them all at once together, I would print 12-15...(the few extra just in case...)

ETA: I think the requirement of the passport photos is within the past 6 months...don't take my word for it though

Off the top of my head, 5 for the beneficiary and 2 for the petitioner:

Beneficiary:

- Two for the petition (1 for the I-129F, one for the Bio forms, I think).

- One for the medical (just a UK standard passport pic is fine for that).

- Two for the visa interview (there are several places near the embassy that do US passport photos, the embassy gives details in one of the packets).

Petitioner:

- Two for the petition (same as beneficiary)

All 'US style' except the UK medical exam photo, which doesn't matter. One more thing, the instructions always state that the photos should be either "recent" or in some cases "less than 30 days old" so don't go out and get all the photos you need now, get them closer to the time.

Oh yes, I forgot about that bit but it's probably better to get them done later on, as I mentioned, the instructions say "taken in the last 30 days".
