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.

Hey Nat,

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

That's good 19cents

The website tells you the requirements for a passport photo and offers a grid that you can use to zoom in/out/crop the picture to meet the requirements. It required a bit of manual work, but can save you money, especially considering the high # of passport pictures needed for this process.

Thank you guys! And congratulations to everyone else who got approved. And I wish everyone else a painless journey to NOA2s. :energy:

It feels like a while since I was on here. I loved the support you guys gave, but found it too disheartening listening to people who got approved after 20-odd days saying it was about time cos they missed their other half too much. Like the rest of us don't feel that. Anyway bitching over!

Funny thing is today was when I finished up my job too. It's almost like they were waiting to do everything at once. But I've got work with a friend for a while until my interview (whenever that may be!) to keep me busy and out of mischief. :P
