I thought I needed 2 passport photos for my alien card. The immi bitch only took 1 of my photos. We'll see what happens. My boss said not to worry. Oh yeah, we'll see. Incompetent immi officers suck!!!

With the prevalence that this likely happens, they probably have hired a college intern to stencil the missing faces, using the likeness of the 1st one. Confused

What a bizarre outburst. How on earth do you manage to let such a minor event get so out of proportion in your mind?

If this sort of thing gets you in such an exclamatory!!!!state, how do you react when a genuine problem arises?

I think we can safely add this to the ever-mounting pile of evidence that a lot of foreign teachers in Korea are ever so slightly.....(insert appropriate adjective(s))

I am surprised that they even took one.

When I had my purse stolen/lost.. I went to have my ARC replaced and they didn't take a picture from me. Told me it was already in the system..

You've been here the whole time and no ARC?!

When applying for my wife's second F3 they allowed me to use a B&W printed pic I had on the internet.

One immigration officer pasted one picture in the box at the top and another on the bottom. The second immigration office tore the picture off the bottom and handed it back to me. Rolling Eyes

Uh-Oh... an extra passport photo in your wallet... TAR & FEATHER THOSE BASTARDS!!!

Look at it this way... it would have been worse if it was the other way around (you were told they only need one.. but then find out they actually need two).

Don't get me wrong... the folks at immigration are idiots, but pick your battles.

Don't sweat it. They only take 2 photos when they think you're a possible terrorist. In your case, you passed so consider yourself lucky.

Don't you have to purchase passport photos in (at least) pairs anyway, Princess?
