I live in Westchester County, NY (15 mins from NYC). I have been searching online for places that will take the passport style pictures for us but have had no luck. I have been told I need to find a place that specializes in pictures for immigration since it CANNOT be a passport picture. We have CVS, Walgreens and even Walmart around here. Does anyone have any suggestions? This is the last bit of our application before we send it in. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

When we go to CVS, do we just say passport pictures or do we say Immigration pictures? I get so nervous because with our luck our package will be returned lol

Thank you so much

What's the difference between a 2x2 passport photos and a 2x2 immigration photo? Does it take a different camera? A different background? A different photographer?

To this day, I've always told the photographer that I need "passport photos" for all my immigration-related portraits. Why would I tell some friggin' stranger that I'm dealing with immigration issues, after all . . .

Edited by Just Bob

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
