Passport Photo and Length of I-129F missing data?

[louisthani 0]

I sent my packet out today for the I-129F for my fiancee, and oops I noticed something about the passport photo that she had sent me (she has long black hair and her ears are hidden)

Well her ears are even hidden on her countries passport too...

But do you think the I-129F process is picky on the passport photo of her as opposed to the 2 passport photos that she must get again for the packet 3, which I can obviously correct the mistake.

I am curious if when something in the I-129F was not adequate, does it double the wait for the I-129F? sending you off some letter saying they need new photo.

I think I am overreacting about it.

I sure hope my I-129F was adequate and will make it.

I do not know if there will be a problem with the photos. They are not in "compliance" though they may overlook it. Iw will depend on the adjudicator that handles your case.

I doubt an RFE "doubles" the amount of time to process an I-129f, though it could, depends on what the RFE is for. I doubt an RFE fpr photos would delay the process for more than a few weeks. The mail time alone (for them) will add at least a week, then when you respond (how long will it take you to get the photos?) it will be another week or two before you get back in the "system".

Just a little advice. Before this process is over, you will need LOTS of passport photos, like 12-15 (depending how many the medical clinic wants and the forms you file with AOS) so you may as well get some done now, correctly, and have them if you get an RFE. When we started this process we made about 15 or so photos (I forget exactly) and used the same ones from the petition to the AOS. There was ONE left when we got done.

Well yes, oh speaking of medical, the thailand medical is totally different than passport by using 3 photos that are 1x1.5" I found it in the packet 4 instructions for the US embassy for Thailand.

Well I overlooked the ears part because the I-129F instructions wasnt detailed on that part, only the packet 3 instructions were.

Agreed, no one can guess if you will or won't get an RFE but it won't hurt to have a few passport pictures already in your possesion in case you do.

Best of luck.

We have a lot of extra photos that we could use for AOS but the forms say the pics must have been taken within 30 days of the filing. What are the chances that they would know (or care) that the pics are the same as submitted previously with either the I-129F of the visa application??

I have no idea, but is AOS office same as those who saw the I-129F originally? if its seperate place maybe its okay to use the older photos.

Well my first I-129F that I filed toward a K3 to the Vermont Service center for my ex-wife in 2002 only took 2 weeks! for an NOA2. I miss those timeframes. and I did not include any photos with that, probably not necessary cause it was for K3

I'm a little confused...is the issue the fact that her ears were hidden?

[louisthani 0]

Yes thats the only issue I can think of that I may get an RFE (ears hidden)

Ears hidden was not a problem on the original 129 F application.

When we got to the interview at the Rio consulate it was a problem, had new fotos taken with ears showing.

Foto shop was within a block of the consulate.

Better to have numerous fotos with ears showing to be safe.
