i129F Passport Style Photograph

[ZenSavior 1]

Hello!

 

I was reading up on the requirement for a PASSPORT STYLE (2x2) photo of both the beneficiary and petitioner to be included in the packet with the i-129f petition

 

I got my photos today (I am the beneficiary) and have dated / signed the back... do I need to physically mail the photo now to my fiancee or will a scan/print be acceptable?

 

Whats the most efficient way?

The original photo needs to go with the application i believe.

 

how often do you come down, might just be easier to bring it next time (my fiance comes down every 3 weeks and we did ours together on one of his trips down)

Mailing the photos with your letter of intent(wet signed)They need to be original

Snail mail is fine. If you want to get them there sooner, you should be able to FedEx.

Just send him a photo of yourself with a little extra room on them, and there are plenty of ways to take your image and get passport photos made. My fiancee sent me a photo of herself, and I cranked out a few passport photos for the I129, and wrote her name and date on the back and sent the petition in. Scanned copy of your intent to marry letter is fine also, as you will be bringing updated intent to marry letters to the interview more than likely.

 

But if your just in Canada to the US isn't a very long or expensive mail time, you could send the originals in a few days for under 10 bucks.

I intend to send both the 2x2 photos I had taken today but for clarification when my fiancee is compiling our packet, must she include One or BOTH of mine (plus her own) inside of the petition?

[Jonah <3 Verlie 74]

Yes 1 (2x2) of you and 1 (2x2) of her should be in the petition :-)

You're from Canada, so this may not be the case for you, but for those of us whose partner is farther away or from somewhere with less reliable or more expensive mail... the fastest (and most efficient, and what we did) is to get the image file from whoever took the picture, and then have it printed here (if you've got a photo printer and photo paper at home, that's fine, otherwise you can use an online photo print service or a store; I had my fiancee's pictures printed at Walmart.com because they were the first place I found that had a native passport-style picture option; cost $8, was ready for pick up in an hour).

For the back of it, is it just the date and a signature by the person in the photo? Or do you have to have someone verify its you?

Doesn't have to be verified or even signed... just named.

 

See the I-129F instructions:

Photographs

You must submit one color passport-style photograph of yourself and one color passport-style photograph of the beneficiary taken within 30 days of filing this petition. The photos must have a white to off-white background, be printed on thin paper with a glossy finish, and be unmounted and unretouched.

 

The color passport-style photos must be 2 by 2 inches. The photos must be in color with full face, frontal view on a white to off-white background. Head height should measure 1 to 1 3/8 inches from top of hair to bottom of chin, and eye height is between 1 1/8 to 1 3/8 inches from bottom of photo. Your head must be bare unless you are wearing headwear as required by a religious denomination of which you are a member. Using a pencil or felt pen, lightly print your name and A-Number (if any) on the back of the photo.

Your signatures are not necessary. You just need to write your full names on the back in either pencil or felt tipped pen.
