Very Very important visa question!

<p>Guys, if size of my face on visa photo is bigger (3,8 mm) than it should be (3,3 mm) will it be a big trouble for me?
I have an interview tomorrow :S…</p>

<p>Have you got with you the DS 156? The photo should be glued there, but even if the visa officer rejects your picture, I think you will be able to find some photographer around. They usually sit around nearby in case of emergencies, if there is to be one. So I wouldn’t worry too much about it, if I were you. </p>

<p>P.S. Did you measure your photo or what:D?</p>

<p>Wait… your head is only 3.8 mm? That’s so tiny they are certainly going to reject it :D</p>

<p>The DOS website says your head should be 30 mm with a tolerance of ± 5 mm. 38mm is definitely above the acceptable tolerance. You might be able to get a new photograph inside the embassy, but I wouldn’t rely on that… If you can, get a new picture before you go to the interview.</p>

<p>Does your photo look anything like these, or does it only show your head and not your shoulders? </p>
