Do not show right side; it's head on. The 'side facing' instructions are out of date and incorrect. Just go to a Walgreen's and ask for passport style photos. They'll know what you mean.

Effective August 2, 2004, USCIS has changed its requirements for photographs to a standard passport-style photograph. Please see this informational flyer for more details.

http://uscis.gov/graphics/publicaffairs/ne...Photo_flyer.pdf

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Okay , I do no tthink so my form is old but in instruction of I 131 form which i downloaded from website uscis.gov i found following instruction under heading of photograph

You must submit two identical color photographs ofyourself taken within 30 days of the filing of thisapplication. The photos must have a whitebackground, be printed on thin paper with a glossyfinish, and be unmounted and unretouched. NOTE:Digital photos are not acceptable.

The photos should show a three-quarter frontal viewof the right side of your face, with your right earvisible and your head bare (unless you are wearing aheadress as required by a religious order of which youare a member).

Okay please clarify

It's no wonder people in the US "to postal"!!!

On the USCIS forms download page there is no instruciton form for EAD only the I-765 and it has not built in instructions. When you search USCIS for "765" you find the following link "http://www.uscis.gov/propub/DocView/afmid/dat/I_765.PDF" to a form that expired in '05

The form on the download page "http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765.pdf" expired 8/31/08 (I assume it's still good). But, again, has no instructions despite what block 16 says:

16. Go to Part 2 of the Instructions, Eligibility Categories. In the space below,

place the letter and number of the category you selected from the instructions

(For example, (a)(8), ©(17)(iii), etc.).

I was looking for instructions 'casue I wanted to know what C 9 was all about in the example form on VJ.

3/30/08 --- I e-mail the Embassy asking to make the date earlier because I've already got our tickets for June 13th!!!

5/6/08 --- No help from the Embassy. Rebooked tickets and vacation till September.
