Can confirm that they dont follow what is written in that document.

- positioning of head doesnt have to match
- photo used in US passport CAN BE used (irrespective what they say)

Need 2 passport photos, 1 money order, 1 copy of state ID, 1 copy of new passport and 2 ibuprofen and 6 hours to submit re-issue app (split over two web sites)
NYCGI/CKGS process them in a week as everything is now done locally in NYC. Each stop is processing it within hours.
But there are 3 stops and transit between these stop and your home is about 95% of total time.
Thanks for sharing. I am going thro the Process as I just got a new passport. If we don't send the new passport, how do they stamp the U visa in the US Passport?
