Photo Requirements for Visa Processing
All children under the age of 7 must submit photographs with their visa applications. In order to safeguard the traveling public and utilize the latest biometric identification techniques, all applicants for U.S. non-immigrant visas must present full-face photographs, taken against a white or off-white background, showing the entire, uncovered head.
Please make sure your visa photograph meets all of the requirements, as your visa application cannot be processed without the photograph. More detailed information about the requirements for photographs is available.
