Preparing the i-129f

[Amarie83 0]

Two questions:

1. How important is it that the passport-style photos be taken exactly within 30 days? My fiance sent me his but they were delayed due to Hurricane Sandy so by the time we get the i-129f sent, his photos will be over 30 days old. Is this going to make them deny our request for the fiance visa? How could they know when he had the photos taken anyway?

2. I've moved A LOT over the past couple of years. I can not remember specific months that I moved in and out for every place. Can I just just estimate?

Any input is appreciated!

they won't know. but if the photo is over several months old, the photo better look like your fiance as he does today. lol

Thanks for the reply That's what I've been thinking. Just wasn't sure cause for all I know the U.S. government can find out from the place he got the photos taken when they were taken even though it was in Scotland lol

I got four passport photos taken at Walgreen's (I wanted some extra just in case) ... they were taken 29 days before I sent in our petition. On two of the four, there was a date stamped on the back, but on the other two, there was nothing. I think the store's photo paper had printed the dates, then they cut the photos to size, so that two of them didn't get any stamp. So obviously, to be safe, I sent in one of the photos without the date stamp, just in case they would balk at 29 days.

And did they balk at 29 days? Or are you still waiting to find out?

Still waiting, not due for NOA2 until February probably ... but the photo I did sent did NOT have the date stamped, so there's really no way they could know when it was taken, I don't think!

None of the photos we have to send in have dates on them. I'm just paranoid. I can see the U.S. government tracking when I took my photos because I'm sure there's a record of it at the courthouse where I had them taken! lol He did his at a photo booth in the U.K. but mine were taken in a government building where you actually go to get a passport. But I'm beginning to think I don't need to worry about it
