K1 photo specifications./G325a question.

[Kayz 0]

I just want to ask how strict they are when it comes to picture sizes and specifications. My fiance sent me a passport-styled picture for our K1 application and it is a 1 1/2 X 2 instead of the 2 X 2 US passport standard.Apparently, Philippines use 1 1/2 X 2 photo size for passports. Can I use the one that my fiance sent me or we have to get another set of photo? ALSO, my fiance filled up his G325a but forgot to write his name at the bottom where the bold box is.Can I just write his name in behalf of him it or does it have to be done by him personally? He already signed and dated it so it's not that I'm forging his signature at all. He just missed that one bold box ...Thank you so much!

They do tend to be strict - if you send the wrong size photos, you may get a RFE for the correct size. You'll have to decide if it's worth the risk or you want to wait for him to send you the correct size.

If he has already signed his name in his own writing in the place where it says "signature of applicant" and you simply need to complete the box with Family Name, Given Name, Middle Name, it's not a problem.

Yes for both questions, in China my fiance also got the 1.5x2" passport photos I also sent them in with our petition and they were acceptable. As for the G-325A, I filled the form out and had her just sign it. Note there are 4 pages to the G-325A all 4 pages need to be signed and sent in with the petition.
