The document says: "PHOTOS - Supply four (4) recent photos for each member of your family and yourself. Follow the instructions in Appendix B: Photo Specifications."

I'm assuming since I'm sponsoring my wife, it's 4 photos of HER? Can all 4 required photos be the same photo done 4 times? We're not sponsoring any of her family members, so their photos aren't required, I'm guessing? It isn't clear to me.

I was wondering. ...i really don't see the harm in following the instruction literally.
4 photos of yourself and members of your family. It doesn't say anything about sponsorship.i may b wrong but that's what I'd do in your shoes.

This appears in the Immigrant's checklist, so "yourself" in this case refers to the Applicant. As in other places within the guide, the "family members" only refers to nuclear family (spouse, children). Since you are sponsoring your wife, only she requires the photos.

If photos were required of the sponsor, they would include it in the checklist.

Good luck!
