We are submitting forms I-864, 485 and 765 all together.

the I-485 form requires 2 passport photos. The I -765 also requires 2 passport photos.

Can we submit 2 photos in the package or are 4 really required?

 

dont want to take any chances. If anyone is 100% certain on sending 2 or 4 photos please advise.

 

thank you.

we are getting great responses on this site.

That's correct. Now I am doing my sons (wife's kid) AOS. I went through the process of getting him a visa etc.  

I don't think there is a way for me to add this to timeline. As a matter of fact, there are also others items that could not be added on my time line.

What I did is attached photos to every form that required photos, according to the instructions. 

If the i485 requires 2 photos , attach 2 photos, if another form requires 2 photos,  attach 2 more. 

Thats just what I did.

good luck.
