Another question: I got a response from the Consulate about the photos for DS 156. Operator 5 said, "You can attach it". I'm not sure if that means I should attach it or I can just bring them with me to the interview. So I fired another e-mail to clarify.

Did anyone attach photos to the DS 156 they sent in in response to P3? Thanks.

Tina

I didnt have to send in the 156, but I didnt send any photos with my packet.

It's all very confusing because on one page under photographs, it does say two photos will be requested at the interview. I'm assuming that those are for the two copies of DS 156 they wanted. Therefore if we attached it, we won't need to bring it with us to the interview because they already have it?

Unless it takes forever to get the interview and they require you to get new photos done...

I think I'm just going to send in my DS 156 without the photos and bring them to the interview and see what they say. Hopefully it'll be okay.

For my DS-156, I just had somebody take a digital picture of me standing in front of a white wall. I cropped the photo in paint and uploaded it onto the application. It was a completely different picture then the ones for the interview and medical. I had those five pictures taken at walmart and I didn’t get a date stamp on any of them. Nobody asked about when the pictures were taken, so that shouldn’t be an issue.

I think you are referring to the new DS 160? Yeah, I uploaded one passport photo for that one, too. I think I need to retake the ones for the medical and interview. My original plan was to have three identical ones for the medical and 2 identical ones to stick onto the paper DS 156. Now that plan is out of the question...I'm just hoping that not attaching photos onto the two copies of DS 156 I will send today will deem the application incomplete...

Sorry – mental lapse there- I was thinking of the DS-160.

Unless it takes forever to get the interview and they require you to get new photos done...

How can you be required to take new photos? How would they know when they were taken?

Either way, photos are NOT "required" in the P3. However, I am sure if they were sent in that would be fine too. Entirely up to you.

Most photo places stamp the date on the back, that's how they'd know when they were taken

After our packet three was returned (with no photos included), our attorney contacted us asking for two photos. They said that the consulate had requested them. I was in the US at the time visiting my fiancé so I had some photos taken there and I sent them to our attorney who then sent them on to Montreal. Those photos were different from the five matching ones I took to the medical and the interview, but that never came up as an issue. So I guess that means that I got a RFE from the consulate for photos. This could have been for the 156, but I’m not sure. Hopefully somebody else who has their K-1 will post what they did.

Also, I think when I asked Montreal, Operator 5 said "you can attach the photos", not that "you should attach the photos". I really hate word games. Anyway, I guess I'll call DoS next Friday to see if everything is ok....

Let me know what they say. I did not send photos with my Packet either... just that one that was required to upload for the DS 160. I expected that it would be fine to bring them at the interview.
