New USCIS Photo Rule SHOCKS Immigrants! Old photos (even 10 years) PROHIBITED-must be no more than 3 years old and taken by USCIS/authorized providers only. No more photos submitted by applicants to combat identity fraud. Decades old pictures from the Covid era? Away! Affects visas, green cards, work permits – 1 million or more applicants per year. Tighter security or an unnecessary obstacle?
