In one of our letters it says we need photos but it lists a place in Dallas as the official place to get them. dallas is a camel trek for us to get to for the sake of a couple of pics and I was wondering if there are any places in Fort worth where we can get them?

Thanks everyone

I have never heard of having to go to a certain place for the pics for AOS. Maybe they were just offering a suggestion. I think any passport-style photos done anywhere will do. That's what we used.

What is that letter you have? I never heard of a specific place to go for the pictures.

I took mine at Wal-Mart, specifying I needed them passport-style and I didn't have any troubles at all.

Hope it helps! :thumbs:

Good luck you guys! (F)

Is this for your biometrics or for an interview? I live in Grapevine and they sent

us to the FT Worth Support office do do my husband's biometrics..I think they do it

based on where you live so you should have been sent there. It's at La Gran Plaza

off of 35 and Seminary..

If its just photos..you can go to Walgreen's or CVS or anywhere that does passport photos.

I'm sure the OP is talking about biometrics.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

If its just for photos for AOS and the other forms just go to Walmart or Walgreens or anywhere really that does passport style pics... Thats all I did and they were fine they accepted them..

I've reached that realistic age where I have to choose between having fun and a heart attack :)
