I'll need to get photos to process my E2 Visa by Friday or Monday. Anyway, how many photos are needed? I was told 5 by the recruiter/school, but I've heard you only need 2.

Also, is it really passport-size photos? I think that they need photos that are the ID or alien-card size? I think passport-size ones are bigger than ID-size ones.

How cheaply can I get these? I paid for passport-size photos across from the Canadian emabassy and it cost me something like 18,000 Won?

What's my best and cheapest option?

For my visa, I did the 2cmx2cm, or whatever it is, and just printed pics of me off the computer. My head filled the whole thing. Wasn't even really looking at the camera. That went to Chicago in March and no problems.

The primary source of confusion is the fact that US passport photo size (2" x 2"/51mm x 51mm) is different than that of most other countries (45mm x 35 mm).

That being said, the difference is not big enough to matter. Sending US passport-sized photos shouldn't cause any problems.

If you are in Korea, go to a Fuji photo store (or probably Kodak too) and it's maybe 12,000 won to get a set of 10 or so made.
