Passport photos

[chilegringa 0]

Hi everyone, I am about to send out my I-130 packet tomorrow and have one last questions about passport photos..

On the guide it says you need only one but I have read in some topics where people said you needed two...

So is it 1 or 2? Also do I need to make sure to have extra copies of the same passport photos to submit later?? Or could they be different ones later?

Thanks!!

I sent 2 of myself and 2 of my wife with the I-130 packet, in a plastic bag, and we made sure to have 4 spares for when we get to the NVC and interview stages.

Make sure you write your names on the back side of each of them with the appropriate SSN/AI number.

Hope this helps and good luck!!

Thanks! I am going to make some copies of them just in case now..

Should I just put my husbands name on his then since he is Chilean and doesn't have a SSNor AI number or should I put some other number such as his Chilean ID number (which is also his passport number)??

If you read from the USCIS you need one passport style photograph of each of you for the G-325a. They have to be 30 days or less old (to be safe, I'd use that 30 days to mean when they are received, not when they are sent.) .

USCIS Link!!! Click to expand picture showing relevant part of the instructions:

For the I-130 just write his name down. He won't have either of those other numbers yet.

For the interview you need 2 (two) 2 inch x 2 inch (2 inches is about 50mm) passport style photos that are less than 6 months old.

Thanks NikiR !

Do you think they need to be these "official" passport photos taken at a special place or could we take them at home (and make sure they follow the requirements) and then have them printed on photo paper??

I have passport photos that were taken just yesterday, the problem is that my husband has one from about 3 months ago and I am currently on vacation in the US and want to send it now - and avoid him having to physically send me photos express if he could just take a few himself and I could print them out here...

I haven't seen anywhere on the site saying you had to get them done by a "professional" and in fact in the guides it even looks like they know you might be doing them yourself..
