xkuger,
Thank you very much for your reply. Today I got pictures taken at CVS pharmacy. Six photos for $7.99 plus tax. Pictures were taken by digital camera instead of Polaroid, so background automatically came out to be blue. My photo problem is solved.
So looks like you pasted two photos total, one on each application and did not include any loose photos with the applications. Is that correct.
Problem with notarising the copies is that certain states allows notaries to certify the copies as true copies and certain states do not. I believe New Jersey and New york do not.
Did you get the copies notarized in New York state. If you got it notarized in NY state, then probably notary did you a favor or He/She did not know the rule.
Again thank you very much.
