Number of passport photos

[verbose]

I counted I need to submit 6 photos of the beneficiary and 2 of mine for the following set of forms in the application package. Is that correct or did I miss any?

I-130

I-485

I-131

I-765

I-944

I-693

I-864

If you are filling all 4 forms i.e., I-130, I-485, I-131, and I-765, you need 2 photos per/form for the beneficiary and 2 photos for the sponsor for I-130 form. So, total of 8 photos for the beneficiary and 2 photos for sponsor

So, I only submitted 2 and didn't have a problem. For the card itself, they use the photo from the biometrics appointment, not the ones you submit.

I submitted 4 for the petitioner and 8 for the beneficiary.

Per form instructions for each, I found that for a parent beneficiary adjusting from within United States:

• I-130 needs 2 photos of petitioner (and 2 of the beneficiary if beneficiary is a spouse)
• However, I was trying to fill I-130 online earlier and it did ask for my (petitioner) photos, so I will go ahead and include 2 with the paper application
• I-485 needs 2 photos of beneficiary
• I-131 needs 2 photos of beneficiary,
• I-765 needs 2 photos of beneficiary.

So, since my application is for parent beneficiary, I figured 2 for petitioner and 6 for beneficiary.

Per form instructions for each, I found that for a parent beneficiary adjusting from within United States:

• I-130 doesn’t need any photos. It only needs photos in case of spouse beneficiary (in that situation it needs 2 for petitioner, and 2 for beneficiary)
• However, I was trying to fill I-130 online earlier and it did ask for my (petitioner) photos, so I will go ahead and include 2 with the paper application
• I-485 needs 2 for beneficiary
• I-131 needs 2 for beneficiary,
• I-765 needs 2 for beneficiary.

So, since my application is for parent beneficiary, I figured 2 for petitioner and 6 for beneficiary.

I guess it’s better to submit more pictures than even required instead of less than the required. I submitted 8 beneficiary photos and 4 for the petitioner.
