My fingerprints appointment is coming up soon. I like to grow a beard and I trim it and take good care of it. Since my picture is going to be put on the green card, should I keep the beard or shave it temporarily? Or do they even allow you to have a beard on the green card?

kinda stupid question...

thanks

I hope so, ive kinda grown fond of mine :lol: As far as I know the requirements are the same as the passport http://travel.state.gov/pdf/Photo-Quality-Requirements.pdf and nowhere does it mention not being able to have a beard ( the chap on the right hand side looks as if he has a nice little tash going on :D ) . Someone with more knowledge im sure will correct me if im wrong. My K1 visa in my passport has a picture of me with a beard, the Officer in the london embassy certainly didn't bring it up with me as an issue.

There is no requirement that you have to be clean shaven for a green card photo. I've seen plenty of green cards with pictures of people who had beards and mustaches.
