Unwritten rules on Green Card photos - Both Ears shown. No earrings. No smile. No eyeglasses.
There is no clearly written rules on the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) web site
about Ears, Earrings or Smiling.
However, we've seen enough photos rejected simply because the ears are not shown or the person is smiling.
This is particularly the case for Green Card and US Citizenship application processes.
It seems that in real world the US Citizenship and Immigration Services wants photos
with your both ears shown, no earnings or no smiling.
Why take chances?
The purpose of the photo is to get your US Visa or US Immigration process achieved promptly.
Just let your both ears shown, take off your earrings and no smiling,
you have a lot of time to smile later on.
By the same token, we strongly recommend that your eyeglasses should be taken off..
Yes, the rule says that you CAN wear eyeglasses, as long as your eyes are clearly visible and
no reflections from the lenses nor frames.
But HOW clear is CLEAR to US immigration officers?
Without eyeglasses, your US Immigration or US Visa process will go smoothly with no problem.
With eyeglasses on , there is a chance that the photo would be rejected.
Why do you have to take chances here?
In short, let's make your US Visa and US Immigration photos as worry-free as possible.
You can't go wrong with "Both ears shown, no earrings, no smile and no eyeglasses" photos, then why not?
