DV Lottery | How to create your photo to WIN the greencard lottery!!

Hi simon, thank you for the great tips and tricks. One qustion, the crop tool in the website doesn’t completely match the requirements, You see the face should be maximum 69percent of the whole photo height but when the website crops your photo (the one that you manually place those eyes on your face) the face is something between 70 to 72 percent of height, so can we trust the photo tool on website? Or the photo cropped by the state government website is acceptable?

@BritSimon does the file extension matter whether it should be .jpeg or .jpg?

Hello Simon, an important question: is there a problem to upload a photo in JPG format?
Based on the dv website, photo must be in JPEG fprmat
Please help, I wanna submit as soon as possible 🙏

Thanks for all the tips and insights. God willing, I can come and thank you personally in 2025.

Hi simon thank you very much for the very rare and helpful information. i really what to ask you a question no one else can answer but you. is it important to have the photo data the exif data? i used an app xnshell
to get over the over compressed photo error then i found i lost the exif data then i cropped it with dv photo tool. so is it ok to do that?
thank you again

یلام من خیلی دوستدارم توی لاتاری ثبت نام کنم اما نمیتونم عکسمو ادیت کنم اگه عکس بفرستم شما برایم ادیت میکنید لطفا

I have used visafoto, however the photo has been rejected by the photo tool saying your photo doesn’t need to be cropped. What is my options?

'promosm' 😍

Hello sir I just want to make sure isn't the background changing considered as photo manipulation

Hello Simon,
In case of couple if both of them decided to apply for the lottery, do they have to enter a different photo or the same one? Considering that they are applying at the same day.

Need your email sir .....

Hello! Could you please tell me if the lady, who has kids(below 18) from a man, but they have never been legally married, should enter the man information into the DV form or not? Bassicaly her status is unmarried, and has kids.
Thank you for your support!

Great Simon, I simply used the VisaFoto-Tool for my picture and I think that 5 Euros (or 7 Dollars) is a reasonable price since I don't want to spend the whole day creating an own picture without knowing if I got all the requirements right.
I have a further general question on the DV program 2025: does it mean that in case that I win the actual lottery in May 2024 I had the right to enter the States in 2025 at the earliest? Thanks

Should I and my spouse apply separately to increase chances of winning or will it void the application.

Thx from Iraq I hope this year be there

Mr simom
Can i plz tell me what sze of photo they need thank u?

I will try again this year while im bad luck person

Hello Simon
I have a question
In first name , last name,surname and place of birth we should write all the information in capital letters
In passport it’s all written in capital letters
Or it’s ok to write in small letters except the first letter ?

Hi Mr Simon, I've submitted the entry with 4 (software edited) photos (with derivatives), and already passed photo tools verification. Do you think it's possible that my application would be rejected due to photo compliance issue? If yes, why?
Thanks 🙏🏻

Simon, does it matter if we take a selfie?

But adjusting the background isn't preferred..

👏👍👍👍

Hey @BritSimon could please mension the website you used to check the photo. you said it cost 7$. thanks

Hlw Mr is it acceptable to edit background. By remove the natural

Hi Mr.Simon, I'm the winner of the DV24, but in my photo (which I already won with that photo) there is a little shadow of mine at the background. Could this be the problem in the interview?
