I-130 packet..photos...

 Share

5 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

Hi, it's me again... before I submit my I-130 (appx two weeks away from doing this) I had a couple questions about the photos that are required...

How strict is the processing center about these photos... my wife sent me some passport sized photos, but they have a blue background. She also sent me some slightly larger sized photos with white background. The standards say it must be a white background and that from the top of the hair to the chin must be 1 inch. These that I have are 1.25 inch.

So my dilemma is this: I have two sets of photos. One set is the right size but the wrong color. The other set is the right color but the wrong size...

Any advice?

Thanks in advance,

Andy

I had the same scenario. My husband sent me the same set of pictures as yours. I took a chance and I sent the slightly larger one with white background (which is from top of the head to shoulder only - it's suppose to be from head to the middle chest).

I didnt received any RFE about that. But i asked my husband to have his picture taken with NVC standard passport requirement which he will bring to his interview just in case.

Thanks! I'll probably do the same!
