Yay approvals! I faxed in my request for my police cert. today, and I'm going to the doctor today for some shots, and then tomorrow I'm going to Costco for some cheap passport photos!

How much are they at Costco?

The cheapest I paid is $0.19 cents for 6 passport photos. I used my digitcal camera, portraitbooth.com, and Walgreens.

From what i've experienced NVC usually receives your petition a week or 2 after you get your NOA2. They will send you a letter in the mail once they receive it. Sorry you can't check your status online like uscis they do have a number

NVC # (603) 334-0700 you can call and ask about your case and find out if they have it. The question about what city they will send your case, i wouldn't worry about that because they already know that islamabad handles the interview so that's were they will send your case. Now the question about not having 3 years worth of tax return i'm not too sure what the answer to that is, but try to ask some people that will be going through the same consulate as you they might be able to help.

Hey Nat,

How did you get the passport pic to come out in compliance with USCIS?

That's good 19cents

On the topic of US Compliant passport images, as they can be hard to come by outside of the US, some people might want to check out http://www.paspic.com/ . Not the cheapest but very affordable (£5 / $5), you take a picture of yourself against a clear background and their system resizes it and they check it manually against the guidelines both before and after it's printed, then mail a set of 3 to you.

Obviously you will have had your first set already taken, just wanted to throw out another option for those people who didn't know it existed and paid far too much for them. I'm glad I found the site, professional photographer was charging £60 per set.
