Hi, I just finished my passport renew in Houston Counsel. You can just send the notarized hard copy of the I-20, I-94. As for the photo, you can take one with digital camera, and use photoshop to make 6 photoes in a frame. Then go to any drugstore, to print 4*6 size picture, you can get 6 2*2 photoes for passport or another use.
