Passport photo for K-1 application

[bakofoil 27]

Hi,

Does anyone have any advice on where to get the 2"x2" passport photos done in the UK. I just had a set done today for my application and just realised that the British Passport size is too small.

I've searched the forums and found lots about making sure it's the correct size but no advice on where the US size is available to UK residents.

Be grateful for any help on this.

They are probably fine. 2X2 isn't the standard size anymore anyway and they trim them much smaller than that anyway. What size are they?

It has to be close. Where my wife had hers done, they don't do 2 inches. They didn't even do 50mm which would have been awfully close. We ended up with 45mm square.

They are standard UK size 1 3/4" x 1 3/8"

Good. No problem.

Good. No problem.

Phew! Thanks

You can get the US style photo's from Snappy Snaps.

I don't want to sound like a hardazz here, but I think when you are told to have passport photos of a certain size (2inx2in), you really should make the effort to comply. Now, I know other people have submitted non-standard-sized photos and nothing has gone wrong, but do you really want to risk the delay of an RFE if the person reviewing your petition/application on the day decides to make an issue of it?

As Rosemarie says below, you can get them at Snappy Snaps, and the Embassy has a list of other places where they can be obtained: http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/acs/forms/usppt.pdf

I'd be really careful. Everything I've read says that they're very particular about the photographs and that they'll reject UK size passport photos.

This link gives you the specific requirements and a list of photographers in the UK that do US style passport photos. I'd suggest getting your photos done properly.

But looks like I was beaten to it.

2" x 2" is almost the same as 5cm x 5 cm

any photo shop in Europe that is on the metric system should be able to size a photo to 5cm x 5cm

It is a good idea to get them as close as possible. Someone on this thread http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;#entry1038975 got an RFE for providing the wrong size photo's.

[Eka_&_Pyrrhic 0]

Rawr, my passport pics weren't squares either. I had no idea. Just got normal "passport style photos" the same ones used on my Canadian Passport. Hope we don't get an RFE for it. *sigh*

Ditto the Snappy Snaps suggestion. We used them for both our petition and the visa interview.

Ok thanks everyone who has advised on this thread. We're trying to get the forms in before the end of the month so I'll do my utmost to find some way of getting a 2"x2". To be honest, the RFE is something we're trying desperately to avoid but now the price increase approaches I'm really concerned about getting the application off.

Thanks though, I expect others will find the comments you've submitted on this thread useful too.
