I think if the studio advertised, or accepted to job based on their knowledge of the size of the photo, then they are at fault. If they just took pics without knowing what they were for then she has no one to blame.

Usually the studio would ask what the pic is for…

Absolutely, the photo studio is responsible.
They misled this customer and made him loose his interview.
They should pay him for his visa fee. Outrageous!!!

It’s the phot studio’s fault. They advertise that they produce photographs for US visas. So anyone looking for photos for their visas would go there.
It’s only after a child measured the photo and they saw it was their error did the produce the correct size.
The studio should refund the applicant’s visa fee.
Only in Guyana this nonsense goes on. Very unscrupulous business people!!!

Both Jamoon and CFO are correct. Its his fault because he can’t distinguish between a rectangle and a square and the embassy sometimes are too bad minded. Now de big man whole $20,000 plus gone down de drain when it wouldda tek less than an hour to come back with the correct size photos.

Its the fault of the embassy. The photo is one aspect and his interview and award of a visa could have been completed without it. He should have then been asked by the embassy to provide a replacement photograph within 24 hours so that the visa could be issued.

Embassies are not flexible enough.

I think you guys are too harsh on Deoranie. I think she should complain to Jagdeo so that he can put the owner of the Photo studio in his/her place. Jagdeo dont play to buise up those business people.

I agree with jamoon, it is your fault Deoranie Prasad because you don’t know the difference between a rectangle and a square.

While I understand how you feel, I beg to differ that the studio is the cause of you loosing your visa appointment…I am sure you took great pains to make sure that you had your application form filled, all your documents in order as requested – likewise, it is my opinion, you should have measured your photo and make sure 100% it was the required size.

Peace!
