Unwritten rules on Green Card photos - Both Ears shown. No earrings. No smile. No eyeglasses.

There is nothing clearly written on the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) web site about Ears, Earrings or Smiling.
However, we've seen many 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 and you are just fine.

By the same token, we strongly recommend that you would take your eyeglasses off..
Yes, the rule says that you could 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 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?

How to get your Green Card renewed. Green Card Renewal.

What is the "Space in the margin" of US Citizenship Photos ?

According to the form M-476 "A Guide to Naturalization",
You must include 2 standard, passport-style, color photographs with your application.

Be sure there is enough white space in the margin of the photographs so you will have room
to sign your full name if your application is approved.

The photographs must also be:
Un mounted and printed on thin paper,
on a white background with a full frontal view of your face;
and
Taken within 30 days of the date they are sent to USCIS.

You should print your name and a number lightly in pencil on the back of each photograph.

(you will be requested to sign at the US Citizenship office)

The problem is that regular pencil doesn't work well on back side of photo paper.

Here are tips:
1. A Naturalization Immigration Officer told us that using an eraser works with regular pencil.
First, rub a couple of times on the area where you will write, then write with a regular pencil.

2. Or, using a 4B to 6B pencil, also known as "graphite pencil" or "carbon pencil" works on photo paper.
They are available from rag-shop or art supply store.

Finland Passport Photo.
Finnish passport photo - We are processing in 4 cm x 5 cm (see below).

- It says the size MUST BE 36mm x 47mm - here.
- But 36mm x 47mm is just a minimum size and bigger is better - here it says
" Extra space around the head only makes it easier to scan the photo.
In fact, it can often be useful to leave the edges of the photo intact."
- There is no mentioning as to what exactly outside size they want.

We will give you a set of two photos in 4 cm x 5 cm outside and the head size is 25mm - 35mm.
