Looking for high quality and affordable USCIS AND INS photos? You’ve come to the right place! As a professional photography business we provide customers with the best digital photographic and printing equipment.

In accordance with language specified in the Border Security Act of 2003, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a change in the photo requirements for all applicants from a three-quarter face position to a standard, full-frontal face position to take effect August 2, 2004.
USCIS will accept both three-quarter and full-frontal color photographs until September 1, 2004, after which only full-frontal color will be accepted.
The application process of customers who have already submitted materials that include color photos with the three-quarter standard will not be affected by this change.
