just some info, i filled out the online DS160 visa application form today for myself/wife/son, but how long after can i wait to make the payment to the bank to pay the fees before the form becomes invalid?

Once you've finalized and submitted the form DS-160 it remains valid indefinitely ( as long as the info you entered hasn't changed).
You then have to print out a deposit slip (in duplicate) which you take to Scotia Bank to make the payment...this slip has a validity period ( about 4 days if I recall correctly) .You have to make the payment by the deadline indicated on the slip, if not it becomes invalid and you'll have to print another one.

I am filling out the DS-160 form for a friend, and experiencing difficulty with getting the photo to be exactly 600 x 600 pixels, and fitting in the face in the template.
I tried several different programmes to edit, resize etc, before going on the site.

How is that done successfully ?

take a pic with shoulders up crop and resize using windows picture manager

i was able to do it in picasa (free) by specifying the size of the output jpeg...iirc

there is an online photo tool:

With the online photo tool you can zoom in/out and move around the person's head so if falls within the lines. I did it for 4 applications over the past month. Worked fine.

I tried that about with about 6 different pics, either it's too small, too big, or head not centred in circle. Tried editing in Roxio, and about three other programmes. Would continue trying, Thanks.

Weird. Also, you should get a picture done in a photo studio to send with the application/carry to the interview so maybe you could get an electronic copy of the photo as well.

My daughter's (18months) photo was accepted by the website but they ended up using the photo studio picture for the visa. Two of the other applications they actually used the photos I took with my camera.

i did mines for me and family at the studio, the man put it on a flash drive, the print out also has to be 5cmX5cm,

also i would like to to know if you have to pay for the UPS delivery for the documents?

it's DHL that picks up at the embassy and sends to TTPOST for delivery (you will get an email with tracking info) and no it's included in the fee that you pay at Scotiabank

[pioneer]

Umm DHL actually does the delivery.

[pioneer]

[Gem_in_i]

They actually were not delivering South at one point in time so people had to collect at dhl. Some problem with the contractor for delivery.

You don't have to upload your pic. I had used some random pic just to get past tht section of form.

[air wick]

You brave yes, I will never upload a random pic just to bypass... the pic that i uploaded was used in my VISA...

[j.o.e]

[pioneer]

Yeah the sufferers usually congregate outside questioning everyone.

[pete]

To me I wouldn't go with the whole family one time. That's $5k gone down the drain one shot.

[Gem_in_i]

I had emailed the embassy to ask what to do because of problems to get the pic right and they suggested doing this.
