Passport Pictures for Green Card

[Caitlin Kennedy 67]

Has anyone heard of putting B for beneficiary on the back of the passport size photos? we are putting my husbands name, a number and date. there are no pictures of the petitioner are submitted for the green card (me)

 

just curious - thanks!

I have never heard of doing that, but I see no harm.   The name on the back of the picture should be enough to explain it is the beneficiary, imo.....

I’m under the impression you should only lightly write the A number On the back

During the AOS process, the immigrant is not called beneficiary anymore. The immigrant is now the Applicant and the USC spouse is the (main) Sponsor.

we have seen beneficiary and petitioner on multiple of the aos forms so while you are right, that is the language used on the form

Sounds odd to me to call it an experience.

Plus no one is going to get feedback on what they wrote on the back of the picture unless it's an RFE.

The term beneficiary is used once in the AOS form (I-485) and that usage is only to define the principle APPLICANT.
