I would try different Walgreens! I had the same issue and went to a different Walgreens 8 blocks away and the guy was really nice and did it for me. I honestly don't understand what the big deal is. You are paying the same amount of money than if they were taking the picture for you.

Where in US print out picture (passport style photo of beneficiary). I just sent to my petitioner my photo for G-325A (passport style) and he went to the walgreens and they said they can't print it out. So where to print? I don't wanna send one little picture through the post mail.

cvs and walgreens.

when you say 'sent' - do you mean you emailed something? if yes, have your petitioner use a computer, get online with cvs or walgreens photo section, and do it again. it's easy, really !

I would try different Walgreens! I had the same issue and went to a different Walgreens 8 blocks away and the guy was really nice and did it for me. I honestly don't understand what the big deal is. You are paying the same amount of money than if they were taking the picture for you.

same amount of money? no way !

example - at walgreens:

1. get passport photo made and printed there - 13 bucks for 2 photos.

2. use digital services online, print at local store, 59 cents per print.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

My petitioner went to the walgreens today and they refused to print out my passport style photo. They want to print out is like 4x4 and than cut it but it won't work and they refuse to make it 2x2.

Give us the location and store number of that walgreen's so we can troll them

Yeah! They charged me 12 bucks for two of them! The guys specifically told me I cannot charge you like if you were printing 5x7 prints. So i said okay. it was that or my mom paying $25 through DHL to send me the pictures.

you guys are missing the point

any of these places will take and print out your picture

but not of a photo when person is not in this country

the beneficary needs to get the passport photo done in their own country

passport photos are offical and can be used to apply for a passport (therefore must be done in person)

this is why it is good to collect these things at time of meeting in person

i took application, G 325 forms, intent to marry and did all when we were together

we did the passport photos (even mine as was cheaper in Ecuador)

and filled out all the biographies and paperwork

this saves a lot of mailing back and forth

The Passport Photo's are not official, even when submitting a Visa Application or Passport application, the instructions specifically state to submit a Passport "Sized" Photo. There is no place that you can go and say "Hey I need a Passport Photo, and they provide you a 2x2 and state, now remember this is an official Photo, you cannot use it for ANYTHING else WHATSOEVER, It must, and only be used for a passport application." I'm sorry but that logic is silly. There is nothing official about wanting a place to print you a 2x2 picture of someone, Hell what if he had a Christmas Ornament he was hanging on his tree that only took 2x2 photo's.

The point is, a picture is a picture, what you use the picture for is your own decision, and a company cannot make the decision whether or not to provide you with services based on assumptions.

Thanks for reply! Yes, by "sent" I meant "e-mailed".

Well, my petitioner used epassportphoto.com right now, and about to go to print it out in 4x6 and it should came out like 2x2. Photo is looking like four of them combined.

Weird. here's how I printed her picture at Walgreens (she sent it via email).

She sent me 3x4 cm picture with colored background (photoshopped). She forgot about white background and 5x5 cm (2x2 in), so photographer took 3x4 with colored background.

Anyway, I removed background and resized the picture with photoshop, took it to Walgreens and printed it in few minutes.

My fiance told me there wasn't any option to print out it like 2x2. There is only 4x6 option so he asked stuff and they said they can't do anything.

Похоже вы русская, возможно, он не выбирал функцию фото для паспорта а полез в обычные фотки с разными размерами, там 2х2 действительно нет, только 4х6 и выше. пусть едет туда обратно и выберет нужную функцию - фото для паспорта. там размер и не нужно искать

I cleaned My Timeline. Hope nobody minds

Спасибо за ответ! Да, не удивлюсь, если залез в обычные фотки( Хотя он подошел там к персоналу спросил, сказал что нету 2х2 формата, они бы по идее ему могли сказать, чтобы получше поискал.

Он сейчас использовал epassportphoto, там получились 4 фотографии скомбинированные формата 4х6, я так поняла, якобы, распечатав их, он получит 4 фото 2х2.

Он уже ушел в walgreens, не успела написать про то чтобы получше поискал формат 2х2.

как я написал выше, искать 2х2 не нужно. как только он вставит флешку в ихний комп пусть сразу выберет фото для паспорта (там фотография паспорта). или лучше сразу скажет персоналу что есть фотка на флешке и нужно отпринтовать для паспорта. ее наду будет загнать в одну форму а это пусть они сделают, они знают свою работу.

удачи!

translation :)

as I said above, he doesnt have to look for 2x2". when he connects his flash drive to their PC, he must select passport photo (or whatever it was). Or tell the staff he has picture on his flash drive and need to print it for passport. It must be adjusted, let the staff do that, they know it better

good luck!

Albeit true, if an employee refuses service to someone, they must have a justifiable reason to explain to corporate if the person complains, that's why I recommended to the OP that her fiance file a complaint on that Walgreens location.

Thanks everyone for reply! My petitioner just got home with my photos, he is about to cut it himself with razor to separate one of the photo. He called to the post mail office if they can cut it with a special tool, and they said they only will cut it if the person on the photo herself (me, beneficiary in another country) will show up there :shocked:
