Green Card Photos
US Green Card Lottery Photo requirements are quite stringent and now must conform to strict new US regulations including the new internationally agreed biometric standards. We have professional passport photo studios with professional lighting and professional knowledgeable photographers.
The requirements depend on how you are applying for your Green Card. Most people require a digital copy for online applications but printed copies are also available on request.
