Did you not include his passport photo or was it the wrong size? I don't think either of our passport pictures we sent are exactly 2x2 because we got them done here in Hungary.

We did include them. It was the same picture he used to get his passport, so i don't really know what happened. maybe it got misplaced or something.

Oh! I see! Well hopefully we don't get a RFE for the wrong size but honestly at this point I'd just like to hear something!
