USCIS has implemented new guidance that requires only photos taken within the last three years for immigration documents. This policy, which is effective immediately, prohibits the use of older photos, even if they were previously on file, and disallows self-submitted images, ensuring that only photos taken by USCIS or authorized entities are used.
Key Details:
- Only photos taken within the last three years will be accepted.
- Self-submitted photos are no longer permitted.
- A new photo is required for several applications, including Form I-90, Form I-485, Form N-400, and Form N-600.
- This policy replaces COVID-era flexibilities that allowed photo reuse for up to 10 years.
The updated requirements aim to enhance identity verification processes for immigration applications, impacting all relevant USCIS filings going forward.
