Medical exam was completed yesterday and we received the sealed envelopes from the USCIS approved civil surgeon.
It ended up costing about $480 each for my parents...

If you are looking to get passport photos done, goto Sams Club, its only $4.99 for two copies.

If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, take the photos yourself and upload them to www.epassportphoto.com and then either print them using the Shutterfly service or download them and print yourself at Walmart, CVS or Walgreen on 4x6 sheet for about $0.20 cents....

Hi,
It looks ok.I think you need to include your naturalization certificate if you are a naturalized citizen.

Best Wishes!!
