Hey guys, one very important thing, DO NOT USE FEDEX FOR SENDING YOUR PASSPORT!!! I used it and received my passport back via usual mail along with a info paper from Buffalo saying that they do not accept to send back passports or any other documents sent by any other post service except USPS...

Hi X-Brklynite, Yes, photos must have a printed date in the back, it is very important for them. I have also noted my eye color and height just under the stamp from the place where i did my photos. Good luck and all the best!!! Cheers, Metea

@ X-Brklynite Congrats!!!!!!

@ danhass @ pradeepkumar_v Thank you!!! Hope your PRs arrive soon as well! Cheers, Metea

Just got passport request by email :)

ok, i ment to say no job offer is necessary but you have to be enrolled in the program of studies in the univ. Sorry for the confusion, Cheers!

No enrollment is necessary. You apply for the off-campus work permit if you want to work outside of the univ. You can apply for this permit only if you are a full time student. It also limits you by allowing only a part time employment. If you are to work on-campus you have no need for a permit.
