Passport photos Submitted for I-130 Standalone

[SummerRoses 6]

Hi VJ members,

 

I've been reviewing the checklist before submitting the I-130 standalone. Is the passport-style photos applicable for me only (USC) since my wife (the beneficiary) is residing outside the US? https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-130instr.pdf

I'm not sure since I also follow these steps:

You are petitioning for your wife to be granted  to immigrate to the US. She is the beneficiary, and as it says in the instructions: passport photos of your non US spouse. The beneficiary. Subject of the petition.

I've included the link in my original post, but I might also attach a screenshot from the USCIS site where I found confusing information. According to the instructions for filling out Form I-130, is the passport photo requirement waived because my wife is not in the US?

If your wife is not "in" the USA, passport photos of her are not needed but they are for you.
