Hi dukhi_h1,
I was just curious to know what 221 g stands for.....i mean, what are the reasons that they have cited for incorrectness of photos?.....is it regarding the photo-size/background/not recent etc?......wud be gr8 if u cud let me know.........

Thanks,
 
221g Refusal

The 221g form said that the picture(s) did not have white/off-white background. Did not necessarily say whether me or my wife's picture did not conform to their standards. So I guess I have to retake both pictures and redo all the forms. :(
Any pointers on where to take pictures ? Walgreens/Wal-Mart OK ?

Where had you taken the old picture? What kind of background did it have? How bad was it? Some one in a different post had a bluish black background and hence it was sent back to them.

When I went to sears to take those pic, they were not sure what kind of pic to take, i had the print out of photo specification and explained to them about size, background, position, etc...

dukhi_h1, nothing to worry you have enough time to respond to them back.. but addtional expenses, what to do? this visa and immigration sucks all of us...
 
Well I guess my best bet is to take the photo specs to walgreens and hope for the best. Sending another set of DS-156,DS-157 forms is a pain but cannot do much now since they have already encashed my MO.
Good thing is that the turnaround time now will be in weeks rather than months since I have to send it directly to DC. ;)

What kind of photo did you have before? What kind of background did you have? When did you get the PP back with the 221g? From your post it looks like it took a month.

I would suggest you take the picture at Ritz or wolf camera stores. We took there couple of times.

visa revalidation

I have a few questions regarding sending the self addressed envelope for visa revalidation.

..Has anyone supplied a FEDEX Airbill with both 'From' and 'To' fields filled with their address?

..In the payment field has anyone given the crdit card information or did you give an account number?

Your feedback is appreciated.
 
Can anyone post detail procedure to revalidate H1,
information on forms, procedure etc
I need to do it by tomorrow.

Thankx a lot
 
vu2vut, I sent it thru FedEx only.. You don't need to either open an account or give your credit card details.

Ask them I want to sent these docs to St. Louis and want to keep a self addressed cover inside of this envlope for them to send the PP back to me...

what they do is, they will ask you to fill out the "from" and "to" address in one of their form and will charge you the same amount for both the side.. (ex. 15 $ within 2 days delivery then the return also 15$, so you pay total 30$)

Good Luck
