Photo Requirements :
Please ensure that your visa photograph meets the following requirements :
** The photograph of each visa applicant must be an unmounted full face photo (taken within the past six months) 2 by 2 inches (either in color or black and white against a white background), and should be stapled or glued to Form DS-156 (Nonimmigrant Visa Application).
** The staples should be placed as far away as possible from the applicant’s face.
** Sunglasses or other paraphernalia, which would detract from the face, are not acceptable.
** A photograph of a person wearing a head covering is permitted, provided that enough of the face is uncovered to establish identity.
** A photograph of a person wearing a traditional facemask or veil that conceals portions of the face and does not permit adequate identification is not acceptable.
** Since a separate visa is issued to each qualified applicant, an individual photo is required in all cases.
** Group photos are not acceptable.
** It is particularly important that the photo be recent and clearly in focus.
** It is vital that the background be white or off-white.
** Photos taken in front of busy, multi-colored, patterned, or dark backgrounds will not be accepted.
** A “full face” photo is one in which the applicant is facing the camera directly.
** The applicant should not be looking down or to either side.
** The face should cover about 50 percent of the area of the photo.
** It is preferable that the ears be exposed.
** The key requirement is that the photograph clearly identify the applicant.
** The photograph should measure 2 inches square (roughly 50 mm square) with the head centered in the frame.
** The head (measured from the top of the hair to the bottom of the chin) should measure between 1 inch to 1 3/8 inches (25 mm to 35 mm) with the eye level between 1 1/8 inch to 1 3/8 inches (28 mm and 35 mm) from the bottom of the photo.
** Photos of members of the military, airline employees or other personnel wearing hats are not acceptable.
** Digitally-altered photographs will not be accepted. This includes alterations of color or pattern in the background of the picture.
** Photographs that are out-of-focus, air-brushed or otherwise substandard will not be accepted.
** Digital photographs must be of sufficiently high resolution that the pixels are not visible.
