Passport photo for K-1 application

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

They have a photo booth that does the appropriate size? I'm not sure if they are just a photo lab. Thanks

It's not a photo booth. A photographer (usually just one of the shop assistants) will usually take a snap using a digital camera, then upload it to a computer in the shop. They then use software to get it to the right dimensions. However, the first set of snaps we had done for the G-325As were taken with a more conventional Polaroid-style passport picture camera, like they used to use before the digital photography boom. These were the right dimensions but we both looked shiny and bloated in them! Definitely preferred the digital ones Bruce got for the visa, as he was able to have them retaken immediately when the first snap was a bit duff.

Make sure you remind the photographer you want a US-style photo, and bring the photo guidelines with you if he or she looks confused. A lot of us UK VJers used Snappy Snaps -- in different parts of the country -- and nobody recently seems to have ended up with the wrong size photos using their services.

Cool, thanks very much for the info.
