Kiev - Clarification post approval

I am trying to work through the next steps --- medical and interview.

If I understand correctly, both my fiance and her young son require a medical, but he can come on her Visa (if approved) given his age (6).

One of the requirements is "3 full frontal photos 50mm by 50mm." To me that means head to toe, which seems ridiculous. Do they mean simply face and shoulders??

I thought I had paid every fricken fee imaginable, but when I was reading "Processing Fees" I found this:

  • Affidavit of Support fee invoice - will be sent to the petitioner; and
  • Immigrant Visa Processing fee invoice - will be sent to the applicant or the applicant's designated agent.

I've seen nothing about this and now am wondering what the heck.

I must admit, after 18 months of fighting this battle, including child custody issues, I am doubting whether it's worth it. I suppose that is goal of the feds. Make is to complex and so convoluted, and change it frequently, so that unless you are tenacious as hell and persistent to the point of being fricken relentless, eventually you wave the white flag and surrender and walk.

3 full frontal photos 50mm by 50mm = 2" x 2" passport style pictures.

The fees aren't new. It's not a conspiracy. There are, as far as I can tell, no black helicopters involved:

Good luck.

Good luck.

Never received either of the invoices they are disucssing.

Therefore, not sure how to get them paid (as they reference requiring the invoice number).

Thanks.
