Thanks. It's so depressing really. Shes from the middle east. So its kike a 99% chance she'll be in a long ap. Sigh.

It's such a draining process to go through and I feel so grateful that things tend to process quite fast in the UK! I wish you all the best in your journey, and that it's as quick as possible for you! Keep us in the loop with your NOA2

I think we're going to get an RFE :'( I don't think my fiance signed the US size photos. I guess we didn't see it in any of the instructions we read to sign and date the back of the 2x2 photo.

No date and sign. BUT the full name should have been written on the back.

Luckily it is something that is very easy to fix if you get an RFE for it ...

Sigh. You're right of course. :) I'm just frustrated with myself.

I'm a few days late to the party, but just a PSA for everyone discussing passport pictures:

In my experience, Costco is the cheapest place. I have no idea if the price varies by region, but at our local Costco (I'm in California) it's $5 for four pictures. I've used Costco passport pictures for my own passport and multiple visas, so they appear to know what they're doing. Seems like this whole immigration process requires quite a few passport pictures, so it's not a bad thing to keep in mind!

***

In other news, I'm hoping for an NOA2 any day now (our projected adjudication dates are 3/17 - 3/20) so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I didn't even think of Costco and it's half the price from other places I've used. Thanks for the info!

True! Costco is where I went to get my passport photo taken back when I was like 14. It's always been the best place :)
