Frequently Asked Questions
- Is a green card photo the same as a passport photo?
- Yes — USCIS uses the US passport specification: 2×2 inches, white background, same head-size and eye-line geometry. One compliant photo works for both.
- Can I smile?
- Keep a neutral expression or a natural, closed-mouth smile. Visible teeth and exaggerated expressions are common rejection reasons across USCIS filings.
- How recent does the photo need to be?
- Taken within the last 6 months and reflecting your current appearance. Reusing the photo from a years-old document is a standard rejection.
