Simon please Will I be disqualified from the DV lottery if my head is not perfectly centred in the picture, just slightly pushed to the left of the photo less than 2 millimetres ?
I dont like that they stopped the passport rule last year. Entries more than doubled and most of the people dont even plan on getting a passport let alone moving to the US if they win. So the passport rule was a good filter. I know for a fact a lot of people apply just for giggles every year and never intend on actually going if theyre selected or dont even have the money for a plane ticket let alone visa, doctors exam and expenses when they get there. If it was up to me I'd institute a small symbolic fee of 5-10$ to apply and you'd see the applicant number decrease at least 5 fold. Gotta weed out the unserious people somehow
In some countries the cost of applying for a passport is relatively high. So enforcing a financial cost simply to apply for a lottery is not a fair solution. As for $5-$10 to apply - well same thing. That could represent a couple of days income in some countries.
@@BritSimon people applying with no serious intention of going through the process if selected need to be stopped somehow. Also tell me how if someone that makes 5$ a week supposed to scrounge up at least 5k to move to the US? My solution maybe isnt the fairest but the application process needs to change
Hi brit , I mistakenly choose highschool no degree other than highschool degree , I didn't understand what it meant till now , could this have ruined my chances of qualification/winning the DV lottery 2025 ? Do I really have a chance?
Hi Brit, any chance you could do a video relating to selection chances for couples vs singles and the changer in probabilities of applying over multiple years vs. Single year? It would be a fascinating video. I know there is some data out there on a Google search (probability tables) but i haven't seen a proper video collating historical to mathematical data on the basis of entry configurations. I think only you would make it understandable to the masses on a subject like this,.. 🥂 Cheers
This is rather like a coin toss. As you toss a coin, the result is heads or tails. But the second time you toss the coin, the chances of heads or tails are identical to the first time. The coin has no "memory" of the selections. Same with the lottery. So the chances for a single entry within a region are the same...
Hi britsimon good evening. I have this question about post entering the US for DV could you do a video like to guide your followers. I take this opportunity to say thank you for your analysis it really helped medv23 and successful relocation
Hi Simon! My question is,can I apply for someone who's in USA? I'm asking because of IP address, not sure is that problem or not. Thanks in advance! Best regards to you and your family!
Hi Simon, thanks for your good work. I have a question please, the department of state's said that the head size should be between 50 to 69 percent of the image's total height, but I have seen many winners photo which have head sizes ranging from 70 to 80 percent of this image's total height. But why is that possible that they violate the law and they got selected??
Hi Simon,thank you sir. I had a question.I'm currently 17 and i don't have a high school diploma yet.but,until the results come out,i'll be 18 and will have my high school diploma.i wanted to know if i can apply separately or only with my family?thank you again.
Does a confirmation number has any effect? I was told that for one to win there must be even number of both the letters and the Alphabets i.e if the numbers are 4 the alphabet will be 12 or both eight eight or 10 six. Etc... how true is this?
Thanks so much BritSimon for all you are doing for us. One question please, on my my birth certificate it is written born in hospital in the district of Aneho in the village of Goumou-Kope. On my passport it is written born in Goumou- Kope. What should I write on the application form for place of birth? Is it Aneho or Goumou Kope. Thanks
Thank you Simon. I’m applying as a Dane, my wife is British and will also apply. Should she apply as a Brit this year or charged with my Danish native heritage? We live in the uk. Thank you
Concerning the DV lottery" if my spouse plays as the primary entrant(head) with me and my two kids and myself also play as a primary entrant (head) on a different date with my wife as devarities and my two kids as well using the same photos am I going to be disqualified?
hello sir , first i want to thank you for your useful videos thanks alot . second my name in the passport is contains of five names but in the bachelor certificate is four names only will it affect if i win the lottery in the interview with the ambassador in the embassy
for more declaration sir i mean that the last name is different (not the same) like the last name in passport is ali and in the certificate is hassan @@BritSimon
Hi Simon. I hope you're well. Thanks for the info and your channel. I was born in DRC but I have Angolan nationality and passport (this passport states my country of birth as DRC).

@BritSmion on all websites and some programs (notepad too), if you hold down the CTRL button (bottom left) and tap on the + key (as many times as needed), the page/text size will increase. (It essentially does what you're doing in your browser, but also works in notepad and other software too.) 👌

Hey Brit, I have a question; I took a picture from a Professional photographer at a Studio… Although I asked him not to make any digital alterations to my appearance he erased a few strands of my hair from the picture (I have messy hair 😬) He also had to insert a digital White Background using some photoshop tool because he did not have a physical/natural white background at the time of taking my picture.

Is it true that when you apply the last days you have a high chance of winning than when you apply the first days.
No. The draw is random. More winners come from the final days because there are more entries in those days.
