How strict are they on beneficiary photos required for IV package? It says 2 by 2...If i cut it 2 by 2 it wont be proportionate....Does it matter?

Any thoughts?

Yes it matters.

These photos are the ones that are used for the visa and green card. Make sure they're correct even if you have to do it yourself with the tool on the NVC website or https://www.epassportphoto.com/

Hi Saylin! May I make a suggestion? :)

I was thinking (since it happened to several users and many people have asked about this), what if you add to the wiki that when the AOS fee changes to N/A, it probably means that the case was completed, since users have confirmed a CC soon after the change? :yes::idea:

And remind that everyone's affidavit of support and civil documents appear as N/A since the beginning :)

Or maybe add it to post 1 if you don't want to change the wiki :):thumbs:
