Hi everyone! We sent out our packet yesterday and I have one problem though. I'm a little overweight so in my 2x2 visa passport picture I'm obviously big but I'm in the process of losing weight and hopefully before my medical and interview I have lost a significant amount of weight. Can I change my 2x2 picture during my k1 visa interview? Also my passport won't be a problem since I still have to renew it so my face would be thinner then since my renewal appoinyment would be on the 5th of April. Thank you.

They use the pictures you provide during the interview for the K1 visa, I believe. Make sure your passport has a minimum 6 months validity before your interview.

The pictures you provide with the I129F is for USCIS' purposes.

They ask for pictures at the interview, so bring new ones then.
