I was just wondering. Is it the same photo as the one in the visa? Or is the one taken at POE used for the green card?

they use the photo in your application you submitted. The photo taken at POE is for their database. They use facial recognition at the airport and for other not so known purposes (security reason i guess).

the petitioner submitted a picture of you to USCIS with your I-130 i assume in your case or the more recent one to the embassy if you are ready for an interview. Pictures at POE are used for other purposes and probably to compare to the picture on your file i can guess.
