What to prepare
Current USCIS guidance calls for two printed photos.
For an N-600 applicant residing outside the United States, USCIS instructions specify two passport-style photos with the application. Overseas applicants are not scheduled for a domestic ASC appointment.
- Use the current N-600 form edition and instructions.
- Confirm the submission route and any location-specific directions directly with USCIS.
- Do not substitute a digital upload unless the active instructions explicitly allow it.
