Hi

Can someone help with this please? I need 2 photos for me and my daughter for the visa interview but nowhere seems to do them the correct size of 2 inches by 2 inches. Does anyone know where I can get these? I have tried Jessops, photos booths and chemists who take passport photos but no one does them big enough - Im starting to panic and never thought this would be the thing that stumps me through this process!!

There is a chemist around the corner from the embassy in London that does visa photos. I can't remember the name of the place but the guards outside the embassy told us where it was and they open at 8:30 am. It's 4 photos for 7.50 not 7.99 as I mistakenly wrote before in another post. You get the photos immediately.

i took mine myself, then printed them on photo paper. I found it was the easyest way to do it and get a pic you like!

Thanks again!

Our interview is on Tuesday morning at 10am. We are flying over tomorrow morning and staying overnight so I will hopefully get the photo's sorted now. Thank you so much, I am stressed out as much as I can be without having a heart attack!!

oooh, try not to worry so much. I think navigating around the city and the unfamiliarness is what is nerve wracking. The 'interviews' are usually described as an anticlimax, so have a fun adventure!

My fiancee had his K1 interview a few weeks ago. I was more of a wreck than he was! He was in the embassy 3 1/2 hours but most of the time was waiting ! I don't know if you have been to London before but it is a great city and the tube is very easy to navigate. Much easier than the subway in New York where I live! Good luck on your interview!

I was in London a few weeks back and there is a newsagents just up the road from the Embassy on the way to Oxford street that does Pics, but more important there is a Photo Kiosk inside the Embassy now (I dont know if it works) This would be the last chance if its all working...

It doesn't seem to matter, everyone who has had a visa interview in London since I came to this board that has used UK sized photos (45x35mm) hasn't had a problem, I wouldn't stress about getting the 2" square ones.

I do recall reading on a thread on here that someone had the wrong size photos and had to go get new ones done. My fiancee brought two differente sizes with him just in case and they took the 2x2. Personally I would get the size that they ask for. You could get a picky Con Of.
