something doesnt make sense online application

[noPain_NoGain 0]

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing okay. 

I am confused by some online filing requirements. I am so frustrated and it almost feels like they are trying to trick you or make you hate the process.

 

Some of the instructions make no sense as this is a digital submission.It says "include an image of the back of the photograph with your name and A-Number written in pen or pencil."

Maybe they are just lazy and copied pasted from paper filling but please community help me with my questions

 

Questions:

1 - Do I upload 2(twice) the same photographs for each myself and my wife? (paper form instructions says 2)

2 - Do we upload the scan/pictures of physical photos? 

3 - Do I really need to upload the back of the photo with my wife's name? (Wife has no A-NUMBER)

4 - I have a digital version of the photos. I believe they are 2x2. Do they mean, we scan a photo of an actual 2x2 physical photo? I mean, just scan the photo I got from CVS or upload the digital version of the photo. It is the same photo and I told CVS about passport style.

5 - If I need to upload back a physical photo, does my wife have to sign it?

6- Can I scan with my iphone and put them on 1 pdf? (back and front of physical passport photo on 1 pdf)

 

i am sorry if my questions are too many and stupid.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Interpret literally.  If it doesn't make sense, just do it anyway.  Write or print the name.  There is no request for a "signature".

Yes that'll do it. Although the requirement is probably from a time before digitization and it no longer makes sense ... we have not had any problems.

Exactly.  There a few artifacts in the instructions.  For this, just do it.
