For the LA Consulate for DTV under soft power, if one gets requested for a photo again because the first photo wasn't good enough but appears to have accepted the bank statement and soft power welcome letter - how long after submitting the second photo do they usually approve? and also how many times can/do they reject photo before totally rejecting application? they rejected photo and asked for another one in 1 day, but ever since uploading the 2nd photo, waiting nearly 5 days now under "processing/pending". . appreciate your feedback thanks

Hi. I got this new photograph request for the second time already. Both of the previous photos were taken in a professional studio and are super clear. Any ideas what the problem might be? And what do they mean by "a new one with a mobile camera on person?" Has anyone ever had the same problem?🙏 It’s in Vientiane, Laos.

So this is just an FYI… doing my 1 year extension today, “Non -O, Thai Family” … one of the request is for a picture with my spouse showing the home address and family picture… so we did that… But the IO said they need an additional picture with a different angle… fortunately we where able to send another picture when we got home via Line, so it was not a problem… but I thought I would share 👍

Hello, I am currently applying for a DTV visa in Vientiane. I would like to ask what “vertical position” means and how I should take the photo. I’m a bit confused. Could someone kindly demonstrate? Does this mean I need to photograph the entire passport?

Getting ready to apply for a retirement Visa. most likely the Non-O. can someone tell me what kind of photo is accepted? can it be a selfie for instance? What kind of document indicating current location is accepted? can it be a photo of my driver's license?

Hello, I checked the group but could not find anything close to my question so here it is.

I applied last week in Paris and I used a scanned version of an official picture that I had taken on the same day. I am now scared that I get rejected because it's a scanned version of a paper photo, and not a directly digital picture. Has anyone been rejected for that in the past, or know if scanned versions are ok?

Thank you so much!

second questions is selfie ok or does it need to be biometric passpprt picture as a scan?

thank you

Hi everyone, I’m applying through the Los Angeles office and I’m a bit confused about the photo and portfolio requirements. I work as a W-2 remote employee and received two requests for additional documents.

For the photo, I uploaded a scanned copy of my passport photo twice, but both submissions were rejected. What are the requirements for "RECENT PROPER PHOTO, not take your picture"

For the business portfolio, I submitted a PDF document that included my company’s name, website, a brief business description, and my role. I’m not sure if “portfolio” is meant to refer to my employer’s clients or business partners, or something else?

Thanks so much!

Hi, I am going to CW this Monday to submit my documents for my first one year marriage extension.

It slipped my mind that I needed my photos taken with my missus on the property I’m residing in.

May I kindly ask if this needs to be printed in photo or I can print it with my regular printer in colour?

Many thanks in advance for your kind help.

Photo requirements

Hi, I just downloaded a professional headshot jpeg after being scanned, and the website gave me a warning saying it might not be accepted as the eye level (?) is not right— or something like this, it was a 5 seconds warning which disappeared later so I couldn’t even read again. Photo is actually exactly fitting the shoulder level and head size etc, did anyone come across with this warning before?
