U.S. visa application photo with beard?
I need a picture to apply for a visa in the states but I don't wanna cut my two month old beard, do you think I need to cut it? People who really know about this please.
Thank you!
Oh and the beard has nothing to do with religion, I just wanted to grow it.
When I go to the embassy im still gonna have my beard, do you think that will be a problem?

Change of Appearance
If your photo(s) or digital image does not reflect your current appearance, even if it is not older than 6 months, the U.S. embassy or consulate will request that you provide a new photo with your application.
Applicants will be requested to obtain a new photo if they have:
Undergone significant facial surgery or trauma
Added or removed numerous/large facial piercings or tattoos
Undergone a significant amount of weight loss or gain
Obtained a new gender identity
Generally, if you can still be identified from the photo in your visa application, you will not need to submit a new photo. For example, growing a beard or coloring your hair would not generally be considered a significant change of appearance.
If the appearance of your child under the age of 16 has changed due to the normal aging process, he or she will generally not have to provide a new photo. However, the acceptance of your photo or digital image is at the discretion of the U.S. embassy or consulate where you apply.
