Visa Passport Style Photos

[Tokenfreak 223]

How many visa passport style photos do we need total for everything (Medical Exam, Interview, GCP, etc.)?  I see the medical exam says we need 4 (three for submission to the U.S. Embassy, 1 for clinic file) and the interview says we need 3 (two for the visa and one for the medical report).  So is that 7 total?  Or do they only mean 4 total?  Just want to make sure we get the right amount.  Thanks.

The interview instructions list 3 so I would still bring 3 to the interview .... maybe stop back after your interview and update us as to if they asked for them or not.

Yeah we will bring 3 to the interview for sure.  The medical exam document requirements lists 4 and says, "three for submission to the U.S. Embassy, 1 for clinic file".  So I guess we will just get 7 to be safe.  Thanks.

I submitted 4 passport style photos during the medical. I wasn't asked for any passport style photos at the US Embassy during my interview . I took extra passport style photos though in case I'd be asked.

Did you guys take new passport photos before the interview or was it just the same as what you sent with the 129f form?

It should be recent passport style photos as posted by Hank. I took two sets of it in case one will be rejected. I worried too much back then lol.
