I129F passport style photo

[K&E 0]

I had my photo taken and it is matte, not glossy. On the insrtuctions for I129F it says GLOSSY, but on the general requirements for passport style photos here http://travel.state.gov/passport/pptphotoreq/photofaq/photofaq_5291.html they say glossy or matte.

Guys, did you send in matte pics with your petitions?? Was it ok??

Thank you !!

I received Matte as well from where I had my passport photos done. Since we were replying to an RFE I made sure they were Glossy, but I don't know if Matte will be accepted or not. The store I went to redid my photos free of charge.

Did that RFE mention any photo problem?

Unfortunately, we did not include the photos, and they requested we send back the G325a for both me and the petitioner. So we proceeded. When I received the Matte, I read in the instructions for the form I-129F and I had researched on here that if they say glossy then that is what they should get.

Hope someone else can also share their experience.

Only ever used glossy from start I-129F to finish N-400. Bias? maybe but I never had an RFE and did everything by instructions.

Thank you, Inky.

Going to have another pic taken for the peace of mind.

I got mine taken today & I never thought anything about it being glossy or matte until I read this, but I just checked it and it's glossy. I never knew it mattered!
