   USCIS advises that, starting Monday, August 1, 2004, USCIS will began accepting photographs in the Department of State (DOS) standard style PASSPORT style (frontal view) for all benefits applications. There will be a transitional period during which the 3/4 profile style photos will continue to be accepted by USCIS for those cases currently requiring that format. USCIS will also announce a cut-off date after which only the DOS standard style photos will be accepted, expected to be September 1.
