Photo for US student visa application?

Question

Hey guys, I am looking to secure a usa student visa for the upcoming fall semester. The thing is that the picture which I took for my application doesn't show my ears very clearly. I am a guy and I even cut short my longish hair so that my ears would be more clearly visible but the photographer told me that the face of my ears and face is such that my ears wouldn't show very clearly. You think this would be a problem . What should I do ?

Answer 1

Your ears don't need to show.

Visa photos are now 2" face on photos, not the 2/3 angle photos that used to be required.

Have a look at the linked source for the requirements of photos.

Answer 2

Typically they do want your ears to show, it doesn't matter if it's a front on photo. Look, they don't need a perfect shot of your ears, as long as they are not covered by your hair you should be OK.
