To ensure your Green Card application through the Diversity Visa Program is processed smoothly, it is essential to submit photos that meet specific requirements. This guide provides clear instructions to help you prepare acceptable photos and avoid common mistakes.
Photo Guidelines Overview
Your application photos must clearly show your entire face and both shoulders. This helps immigration authorities verify your identity accurately.
Photos should be in color, taken recently, and printed on photo-quality paper. Ensure the background is plain and light-colored, and your expression is neutral with both eyes open.
Common Photo Requirements
- Full face visible: Your face must face the camera directly.
- Both shoulders visible and squared to the camera.
- No hats, head coverings, or glasses unless for religious or medical reasons.
- Neutral expression with mouth closed.
- Photo size and dimensions must meet official specifications; consult the official Diversity Visa Program photo requirements for details.
Important Notes
If your photo is not accepted by the reviewing authority, you will be required to submit a new photo that complies with the guidelines.
If you are in the process of getting married, please note that you cannot add your fiancé(e) to your application until you are legally married. Your fiancé(e) must submit their own application separately.
