Passport Photos Information

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recommends that fiancé(e) visa
applicants use a professional visa photo service to ensure their photo meets all the
requirements. If you plan to take the photo yourself, here is the list of requirements:

• Photo must be in color and taken recently


• Photo shows the full head from the top of the hair to the bottom of the chin
• Center the head with the frame
• The person in the photo should have a neutral expression and be facing the camera
• Photo must be 2 inches x 2 inches
• The height of your head should measure 1 inch to 1 and 3/8 inches (25 mm – 35 mm)
• Ensure the eye height is between 1 and 1/8 inches to 1 and 3/8 inches (28 mm – 35 mm)
from the bottom of the photo
• Taken in front of a white or off-white background
• With a neutral facial expression and both eyes open
• Uniforms should not be worn in your photo, except religious clothing that is worn daily
• No hat or head covering that hides the hair, unless worn daily for religious reasons
• No headphones, wireless hands-free devices, or other electronic devices
• No eyeglasses, except when eyeglasses must be worn for medical reasons. For instance,
if the applicant recently had ocular surgery. A medical statement signed by a doctor must
be included. Learn more here about the requirements if eyeglasses must be worn.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) provides examples of acceptable and
unacceptable green card photos to help guide you.

USCIS requires that each photo be identified with the name and A# (if applicable*) of the
individual in the photo. Applicants may lightly write their name and A# on the back of
the photos. Place two photos inside an envelope or clear, sealable bag; to prevent the
photos from being misplaced applicants may choose to paperclip the bag to a sheet of
paper.

Remove this placeholder and replace it with the labeled, bagged passport photos.

Please see the next page for examples.

*Please note that children arriving on K-2 or K-4 visas frequently do not have an A number.

K1 Fiancee Visa, What Happens Next?


Receipt Notice - NOA1

You will receive your Form I-797C, Notice of Action (Receipt Notice) from the USCIS
approximately within 2-4 weeks from filing. To better guide you through the process, it is
important that you notify RapidVisa each time you get a letter or email from the government.
Every Notice of Action you receive (From I-797 or I-797C) will have your Receipt Number at the
top. You can use your USCIS Receipt Number to track the status of your case on the USCIS website
at https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus

Review the NOA1 carefully and call the USCIS immediately if you find any errors.

Approval Notice - NOA2

Once USCIS approves your petition, you will receive the Approval Notice, which will also be on
Form I-797C. The time varies from case to case but typically it takes approximately 6-8 months to
get an approval. It is also possible that you will receive a Request for Evidence letter from the
USCIS, commonly referred to as an RFE. The RFE letter is simply a request for additional
information or documentation to support your case or convince the reviewing officers to approve
your petition. You will usually get an approval notice shortly after providing the requested
supporting documents. Please notify us if you receive an RFE so we can guide you through the
process.

Petition Packet Forwarded to U.S. Embassy

On approval, the USCIS Service Center will forward your package to the National Visa Center
(NVC). About 4-8 weeks after you receive your Approval Notice (NOA2), you will receive a letter
from the Bureau of Consular Affairs indicating the National Visa Center has received your
approved I-129F petition. The NVC will assign and send you the NVC Case Number, which you can
use to track the status of your application. The NVC will then forward your case to the local
embassy or consulate in your home country.

Information Packet Sent to Fiancé(e)

Once the U.S Embassy receives your petition, they may send instructions to your fiancé(e). The
contents of this packet varies, depending on the country and embassy, and may simply be a letter
directing you to a website for further instructions. The U.S. Embassy Packet of Instructions
instructs you on everything you need to do before the interview. Please read carefully and follow
the instructions. You will also need to prepare the Form I-134, Affidavit of Support and gather
supporting financial and civil documents. Login back to your RapidVisa account, update the
financial information section of the questionnaire and generate the completed Form I-134 along
with the instructions.

The packet also contains information about filing your DS-160, the Online Nonimmigrant Visa
Application. Applicants are required to file the DS-160 online before they can schedule their
interview. Please let us know if you need assistance filling out this form.

Embassy Interview and Medical Exam

After submitting your DS-160 online, itʼs time to schedule the interview and medical exam.
Scheduling the interview depends on your U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Some applicants will
receive an email or a letter with their interview already scheduled –– in these cases the interview
date is typically 4–6 weeks after they were notified. But in majority of countries, the U.S Embassy
requires the applicant to schedule the interview on their own. In this situation, the U.S. Embassy
Packet of Instructions will outline exactly how to schedule the interview. Please refer to your
Packet of Instructions when scheduling the interview. Note that each U.S Embassy can decide if
they want to allow the sponsor to attend the interview with the fiancé(e) so there is no guarantee
you will be allowed in. It is best to contact the U.S Embassy to inquire and ask for approval.

You need to schedule the medical exam 7–14 days before the interview date – do not schedule
your medical exam until you have your interview Appointment Letter in hand. The medical exam
(Form DS-3025) must be completed by an accredited physician. Generally, applicants must select
a physician or clinic accredited by the U.S. Embassy. Visit your local embassy or consulate
website for specific instructions about the medical exam and approved clinics. Costs vary based
on the clinic but are typically between $200–$500. Results are valid for 1 year and can be used
again during the Adjustment of Status (AOS) process, once the beneficiary is within the U.S.

We are here for you but please remember…


You are starting one of the most important and most complicated processes most people will
ever go through. RapidVisa has processed over tens of thousands petitions. We will get you
through it if you follow our instructions carefully.

Here is what we can promise...

Take a deep breath!

Sooner or later something about the process will frustrate you. It might be the wait, it might be
trying to find that old divorce decree...who knows. But after doing over tens of thousands of
these we have learned that it can be emotionally difficult. Prepare yourself for the inevitable
frustration. You are dealing with governments and complicated processes here. You are not
ordering a pizza...this is a big deal and can be difficult. Don't panic. We will get you through it.
We promise to stand by you and get this done, but we can't promise it will always be easy.

We are on your side.

Whatever the problem, we are on your side. It is in our best interest to make this as easy on you
as possible, but government requirements are inflexible. If we ask you for something it is
because you need it. We are trying to give you the best chance of success. If you choose not to
provide a document or disclose certain information that is your choice. Just know that you
reduce your chances of success if you withhold documents or answers.

We will stick with you.

Whatever the challenge, we will stick with you. We will take your calls. We won’t abandon you.

Time estimates are just that...estimates.

Nobody, including the government can tell you how long your petition will take. We can give you
averages based on the thousands of petitions we do. But no matter what anybody says, including
RapidVisa employees, there is no way to accurately estimate how long it will take to get through
the process. Don’t buy plane tickets. Don’t plan parties, rent reception halls or anything else
based on time line estimates.

Every case is different.

We do everything we can to streamline the process, but inevitably something will probably be a
little different with your case. Government rules change all the time. Adjudicators can and do ask
for things we could not have anticipated. Expect it. RapidVisa does more of these petitions than
anybody but even we can’t anticipate everything that may be required from you by the
government. But we will get you through it. Expect surprises.

We don’t sell visas, green cards or forms.

Only the government can issue visas or green cards. Immigration forms are always free from the
government. You are paying us to complete the forms for you and walk you through the process.
You are paying for our time, not for a visa or green card. If you are denied we do have a money-
back guarantee. However, if you discontinue the process with RapidVisa for any reason before a
final approval or denial from the government you will not receive a refund. Remember that you
have purchased a service, not a product.

Conversations are not binding.

Most of our customers will call us many times over a span of months. It is impossible for you or
RapidVisa to remember everything that was discussed in your case going back months. We have
prepared very detailed written instructions for you that are customized to your situation. We
encourage you to call us as often as you like, but in the end only the written instructions will
matter. Unfortunately because we are dealing with complicated instructions and imperfect
memories, we can't be responsible for anything you discussed verbally with RapidVisa if it was
not also documented in writing in our systems. If it is important to you, get it in writing from us
in a support message or chat so that we can avoid any misunderstandings.
