Has anyone printed the photos on www.ePassportPhoto.com ?
I am having hard time printing. I went to epassportphoto.com and did the following:

1. I selected 3.5X3.5 option and uploaded my picture.
2. I downloaded the the processed picture.
3. The downloaded picture opens up in Mictosoft Picture Manager.
3. File-->Print, This opens up the Photo Printing Wizard.
4. clicked Next to Continue
5. Selected appropriate printer and clicked Next.
6. Selected 4X6 in. cutout prints.
7. clicked Next to print.

It is printing the images but size appears to be smaller than the passport.

I have tried the following options during the step # 6.
a) 4X6 in. cutout prints.
b) 4X6 in album prints
c) Full Page photo print cropped and rotated to fit.

I have saved the processed picture on USB flash drive and willing to go to CVS/Wallgreens. Has anyone already done this? Any guidelines on what options to select. Basically I am concerned with Size.

Any comments ?

I had a question though..I am not seeing anything noticeable on my Indian passport indicating cancellation so I am beginning to suspect they forgot to cancel it...Is there a way to determine if the passport was indeed cancelled?

Try printing epassportphoto's output JPEG file at a nearby drugstore in 4 x 6 format. There should be 4 photos inside 4x6 size. I did that and the photos came out quite good. they don't have to be exactly 35mm x 35mm. Printing at home might be problematic depending on the quality of your printer.

They usually put a stamp" Passport canceled since holder acquired US nationality" on the 2nd page and in the last but one page (pages with lot of wordings).
If you did not receive that stamp but got your OCI then don't bother.

Thanks for the reply! I checked again and there is no such stamp. Looks like they were just careless. Having visited the consulate in person a couple of times before maybe I shouldn't be surprised. I did get my OCI so I am not going to bother spending another $20 to get it fixed.

Next week I am mailing my passports for OCI visa sticker. Do I need to send them anything else besides the Indian and American passports, the printout of online status, and $20 postal money order. Thank you.
 
Photos and Thumb print

Hi Guys,

Please help:

1. Each applicant needs 2 + 2 pics right ?

2. How did you do thumb print for minors ?
Inkpad?

Thanks,

Chaps
 
R2I2005,

Photos: Number of photos was mystery to me. I wanted to be safe and sent 2+4.
Thumb Print: I guess, Inkpad is the way to go unless someone else suggests a better option. OR you can try Sharpie.

You can see a post above from me if you want to use epassportphoto.com

I was able to print the photos at home. Actually photos were printing correctly (3.5X3.5) which is little smaller than the passport size. I was confused :confused:.
