I got my PP back today with a temporary refusal to stamp the H1B visa. Reason given was the the photograph has to be a frontal view with a white background. I checked the travel.state.gov today and saw that this new condition has been imposed. When I sent the package two and a half months back, there was no such requirement like this to my knowledge. I had checked the websites for this and sent in a 3/4th side view. Well I have to resend the package. State dept. has happily gobbled my hard earned $120 fees, that I\'ll have to send again.
