    do you have a shop in Spain that prints photos? If so they might also do passport pics. In the U.K. I went into one and when I said I needed US visa photos they already knew the size. They then took it with a camera and then printed and cut to size using a cutter they already had. Was a little more expensive than a Photo Booth, but only like double.

    This is useful if you get your passport stamped. Not sure whether Canadians/US get that. my wife and I didn’t get stamps in passport for years due to using egates or global entry so my U.K. passport going into US or her American one going into Uk never got stamped.

    We didn’t live together and had nothing combined like finances. But all approved without issue as I posted the pics plus hotel receipts and flight tickets with both our names on to 3-4 different locations

    I mean just write who is in the photo and say like “mum and dad who travelled from Montreal” or whatever. this is how I did ours. Hopefully the photo works. I had about 8 pages like this which I made on word doc then saved as pdf

    I would agree with this. I could write an affidavit saying I knew you, but what would that prove? photos are very strong evidence. Do you have some from your wedding? With friends and family on too? That’s excellent if so - especially if some had to travel out of country to your wedding. honeymoon? Receipts (plane, hotel) and photos again are strong. I would focus hugely on this. We were together a long time before we got married (despite being nagged at constantly..!) so in our photos you see us getting older, greyer and fatter!! No one can argue with that!!!

    No prob. Just checked and I think it’s less than I quoted. I paid 420 incl the blood test so I think it was maybe an extra 35/40
  7. Cw1977
    extra cost. Maybe £70?
  8. Cw1977
    I was same. At medical in London they do a visual check to see if you have scars from chicken pox (I didn’t as it was 35 yrs ago!) so they do a blood test and you get results a few days later. If you have the immunity antibodies from that, no further action needed. If not, you need to arrange a vax, locally. nothing to worry about either way though.

    think you should just pay @powerpuff your lawyer fee instead

    it says incomplete or inconsistent info the only thing I can see is a blank box for ‘province’. Have you entered Scotland or something similar in there (Aberdeenshire?)
  11. Cw1977
    I think you’re more likely to be able to get in contact with Michael Jackson… Is it definitely not something else that’s causing the issue? All of those other address boxes are free text fields so shouldn’t have any issues with how or what you type.

    Try postcode with no gap AB158PU I seem to remember I had a similar issue on one form
  13. Cw1977
    They only let you take a small bag (like a handbag/purse sized) plus they’re very strict on liquids incl make up etc. MUCH more strict than even a plane (I think 1/3 size of what you’re allowed on plane. I remember seeing maybe 30ml?). As previously said, why risk it/create a problem. Leave at hotel left luggage and you’ll have no issue at all.
  14. Cw1977
    shouldn’t be an issue but there’s always a chance. Just make sure you have strong ties back home e.g. house rent, job etc and evidence. I visited every 2-3 months on ESTA (for c2 wks at a time, some work some vacation) and wasn’t an issue at all.
  15. Cw1977
    I should add they’ll refuse it if you try hand things all together anyway plus you can’t know in advance exactly what they’ll ask to see.
  16. Cw1977
    sounds perfect. They’ll have no issue with you taking things out as requested. I took one of those files with plastic sleeves in with each document in a separate one so I could see etc. worked perfectly and I was only asked for maybe 5 of them dont over think it! If you’ve got the docs, whatever makes it easy for you to find the requested one is perfect.
  17. Cw1977
    if you look you’ll prob see “IV docs in CCD” written towards the bottom of your visa? Just above where it says about “serves as temporary i551” etc that means your docs are sent electronically - if you wanted some reassurance.
  18. Cw1977
    no. The photos are for use on your visa and green card. They just need to be right size and passport style (white background etc). No details on them
  19. Cw1977
    I didn’t technically update anything. They just asked me when the last time I saw my wife was and last time I was in the US. I told him and it obv matched what was on his screen so all was good. Literally that was the total of the convo
  20. Cw1977
    They don’t keep any originals at the medical in London. Will photocopy anything they need and hand back originals to you.

    I visited (a business trip) on ESTA whilst my interview was pending. Had no issues at all - no one even mentioned it (I did use global entry though, but this wouldn’t change anything/my entry status)
  22. Cw1977
    This is what we did (obv without the blanked out names bit). Very similar to previously mentioned. I just put the photo into a word doc, wrote where when and who was in it, then saved as pdf. Did about 20 pics in total across the years we'd been together. All approved without issue. (hopefully the pic opens ok) photos.pdf
  23. Cw1977
    short answer is yes you technically can. But be ready to explain how you can afford that and travel for such long periods. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were taken into secondary inspection
  24. Cw1977
    It varies so much state to state. Your experience is the exact opposite to mine. I went last week to get my DL sorted (California) and the lady saw my temp i551 GC in passport (I actually have the card now anyway) and said do want the real ID too? That’s what I’d advise. so mine is being processed as real ID now, although I’d planned on using my GC as it anyway as mentioned above.
  25. Cw1977
    this is definitely correct and the way it should work…however from my experience and others on here it sadly doesn’t always. If you’ve not received SSN after a while (suggest 3 wks), you can go to your local office and they process it for you. I had to do that - and it came about 9 days later so that’s your back up plan!
