Passport backgrounds

[emma24 161]

Ok so I'm doing exactly what I told myself I wouldn't do! I'm worrying about what I've already submitted. I think our passport photos might warrant an RFE because of the background color. I went off travel,gov that says it can be an off-white background but I'm seeing that a lot of people say it should be white white. The background we used was yellowish. Has anyone every gotten an RFE for background color?

Off-white to me means a tinge of gray, that looks full-on yellow. My guess is you'll be okay but you never know.

 

I generally suggest paying for professional passport photos... not worth the small savings to have a potential hiccup in your case, especially nowadays.

I looked at the copies I have and printed it is not AS yellow. More of like a light beige so I'm hopeful it won't cause any issues. Professional photos will definitely be used for the visa portion! (Ignore the flash)
