New photo requirements - Hair problem

[Marlee]

Hello everyone!

I am posting in the EE section because I know that several people here have submitted their photos recently.

To the ladies or any gents with long(ish) hair:

Do I have to stick my hair behind my ears or can I just leave it the way it is (hair down, covering the ears)? It doesn't say anything about that in the photo requirements.

This is a picture from CIC but it might be outdated, that's why I am asking...

Thanks in advance!

If they haven't specified, then either way it won't matter. To be safe it is better to move the hair behind the ears so that ears are visible and VO doesn't get a reason to raise a flag.

Theoretically, it does not matter.
Functionally, it is best to stick it behind the ears, since they want a clear shot of your face, and this gives them the clearest possible shot. For reference, I have longish hair, and I stuck mine behind my ears when I had my photos taken.
