Can you use a digital camera and print the pic on normal photographic paper for the G325A form. They specify Polaroid Film Hybrid ~5 is acceptable but other intstant processing type film is not. Does not mention anything about digital photography.

Grateful for your help.

kazd,

You are misreading the instruction.

And what does the G325A form have to do with it?

My sister has to fill in the Biographic Information Form(G-325A) and sign it, she then has to send it to her fiancee with a photo (I believe its an ADIT photo) for submission with I-129F.

They are quite specific about one type of film that is acceptable but do not mention digital photography.

I wouldn't chance it... got get a proper traditional photo done by kodak or one those machine they use at the post office.

I don't have a definitive answer for you, but as a matter of interest, if you get your pics done at Snappy Snaps who are the reccomended list, they use a digital camera! It's just as well as it took them several atempts yesterday to do the 3/4 view as specified. They do use a dye sublimation printer though not just a standard inkjet.

The list can be seen at http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_web...localphoto.htm

Snappy Snaps are a franchise operation and their locations are on their website http://www.snappysnaps.com/whereframe.html


If you are getting the 3/4 view photos done, I might suggest you take a printout of the following link which shows the specs. http://uscis.gov/graphics/lawsregs/handbook/m-378.pdf

kazd,

You are still mis-reading the photo instruction.

If one is going to submit photos that were taken with instant film, only 1 type of instant film is acceptable. However, one does not have to submit photos taken with instant film.

99% of all my photos submitted were digital and printed by ezprints.com. (No Plug intended). They are just like real photos,
( I always get them printed on a matt finished paper). I would not suggest using your home printer, regardless of how good it is.

On all the ADIT phots, passport photos. and the like... As I did, you should let a photo studio do it as most specialize in making sure that the pic meets the strict regulations of the BCIS and conulate. The few pennies that you save printing them yourself probably do not equal the frustration of getting such an improtant photo returned for an RFE....

Hope this helps

I agree with this. Although Polaroid will generally get you a fast
picture, it is possible to use non instant film for the job.

I am wondering how long it will be before they actually require ONLY
digital pictures, and with a minimum resolution of say, 3.2 megapixels.
