I went to my bank yesterday to get the money order to pay for the application. Don't forget to pay it to U.S. Department of Homeland Security on your check/money order if you do yours.
I also went to Walmart to get my passport sized photo. It costs about $10 for the two colored photos. Here are the 7 steps to successful photos.
- Frame subject with full face, front view, eyes open.
- Photo presents full head from top of hair to bottom of chin.
- Center head.
- Make sure eye level is between 28mm and 35mm from bottom of top
- Photograph subject against a plain white or off-white background
- There should be no distracting shadows on the face or background
- Please have a natural expression.
Here are the required photo sized for the application from the USCIS website.
And then, I had everything ready to mail.
I paid $7.68 at the post office with the return receipt fee of $2.30 included.
