US Visa photos (for B1/B2, F1 student, and H-1B visas) require a square 2 × 2 inch (51 × 51 mm) format, pure plain white background, eye height between 28mm and 35mm from bottom, neutral facial expression, and no eyeglasses. Virar Stationery produces compliant physical prints and verified DS-160 online digital JPEGs for ₹100.

1 Avoiding DS-160 Online Portal Rejection
When submitting the DS-160 application online, the portal photo validation tool checks color balance, pixel compression, and eye position. We test your digital JPEG through the official photo verification tool before you leave the shop.
Applicants receive 2 physical photographic prints along with the certified digital JPEG sent to their email or WhatsApp.
Always save documents as standard PDF/A format before sending them for printing. This locks the typography, margins, and page breaks so your document prints with 100% precision. Send your file directly to our WhatsApp (+91 70210 72757) and we will check the resolution and margins before printing!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear white clothes for a US visa photo?
Avoid wearing white or light cream shirts as they blend into the required white background. We recommend dark-colored clothing (navy blue, black, charcoal) for maximum contrast.
Do you take US visa photos for infants and toddlers?
Yes, we have specialized white bedding setups to photograph infants lying flat without parent hands or shadows visible.
