Visa screen certificate

Were you required to include photos with the application?

Not sure why it makes a difference if it includes a picture or it doesn't. The Certificate is only used for immigration purposes, nothing else.

CGFNS used to sent VisaScreen certificate (3 years before ?) without the candidate picture embedded on it. USCIS used to accept those VS then.

It seems there was some attempt to fraud and henceforth CGFNS have changed the format and now all VS are coming with a candidate's picture on it. USCIS officers will match the photo (naked eye) that was given as part of the immigration application with the photo on VS. I don't think its neccessary to have the 'same' photo used in VS and immigration.

Yours will come with a picture. You are just gonna be fine.

Hello! I'm waiting for my visa screen certificate anytime soon and i want to know if the certificate have a picture of myself or not. Because i heard recently from other nurses who had their VC certificates that it includes their photo. But according to a friend who had her VC certificate few years back, there's none. Im confused which is true. Maybe there's a new certificate format? Please enlighten me. Thanks

My visascreen did not have a picture. I did not send my picture to CGFNS because they did not request it but, visascreen certificate has a place for the picture. In mine its says (picture not available). This was in April of 2005.
