21:11 Hello Britsimon Iam wondering if my entry will be rejected since the photo of my one child the head is bigger than required? Please will appreciate for advise. The entry was this year 2024.
Simon, please I've a problem can you advice me on DS-260 forms. A friend of mine helped me to fill my ds 260 and I had a problem with him. So going to the interview, I didn't have the access to my print out ds-260 to attend interview so I went to the interview without my ds-260and have been asked to come again ds 260 what should I do . Though I went to the interview alright but my Ds-260 is hackjacked because of my friend. I've been asked come again with this DS 260. What should I do now. Please advice me.
If it stated that it does not need to be crop it's b cuz it passed. I to was in panic when I saw it came up in blue when I put my son pic in. It stated that something I thought it rejected it, but my gf said it's qualified.
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?
Sir i went to photo studio.. creation date show two year before. Is it eligible to apply .. though i have taken recent but crearion date one year before.. plz suggest me
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
For the DV2025 program the very earliest interviews will be in October 2024, so in theory people could start entering after those interviews in 2024, i.e. before 2025.
Hi Mr Simon. Thank u very much for your time and the good videos. Please advise, i have diploma in nursing and 4yes working experience. What to choose with regards to education on the application form.?
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 ?
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.
I have filled edv form yesterday oct 9 but i used the photo which was used in 2023 and i used the same photo this year too and i did not use that eye correction 13:12 from edv photo tool. Is it acceptable or not. Please Sir reply on this comment
I have this concern every year about the proportions of the face. I have a rectangular face and the rest of my family have smaller faces. Even using visa fork I feel like my head doesn’t fit right…
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!
No - that person would not list the man, but would list the kids. The man could also enter the lottery and should list the children too. If they get selected, they can marry and process together.
Mr. Simon, Just watched your other video about the secrets of the drawing process. Does having a beard make less chance of being selected or disqualified by face recognition software compared to a full-shaved face?
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?
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 🙏🏻
Hello sir! When I using visafoto, in selecting documents Can I choose Us Diversity Visa(Dv) lottery or Us Visa photo 2*2inch? Which is the best btn these to made a good quality of photo(high chances)???
I recently made one with my phone. I went to the sites to see if they are good and the sites photo checkers marked all as good, but im quite not sure if It's still good. Could I perhaps send you the photo so you could tell me if its good or not?
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 🙏
MY GOODNESS , YOU CONFUSING PEOPLE BY TALKING TOO MUCH. MAKE IT BRIEF AND TO THE POINT AND END THE PRESENTATION AND THE VIDEO. THIS SHOULD NOT TAKE MORE THAN 5 MINUTES.
Thank you so very much Sir and May da Gud Lord kip on Blessing you always.... You are Trully a Heaven Sent angel! ❤
You are very welcome
Kenya we are watching
Thanks Simon, I will enter the lottery myself this year for the first time!
Gud lack hen
Sir I am wondering if it is okay to edit the background to white?
Hello sir I just want to make sure isn't the background changing considered as photo manipulation
That is my concern too
Not if you do it with the programs he said and no touching/changing the actual face itself.
21:11 Hello Britsimon Iam wondering if my entry will be rejected since the photo of my one child the head is bigger than required? Please will appreciate for advise. The entry was this year 2024.
Hi Brit anyhelp the DV photo tool keeps most photos on one side and not in the middle how can I put in the middle.thanks

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?
If it stated that it does not need to be crop it's b cuz it passed. I to was in panic when I saw it came up in blue when I put my son pic in. It stated that something I thought it rejected it, but my gf said it's qualified.
@BritSimon does the file extension matter whether it should be .jpeg or .jpg?
They are the same thing
Thank you, I thought as much

It will be acceptable - there is some tolerance because people measure the face differently.
Sir i went to photo studio.. creation date show two year before. Is it eligible to apply .. though i have taken recent but crearion date one year before.. plz suggest me
I used visafoto, and it removed backgrounds. It is aceptable?
Mr simom
Can i plz tell me what sze of photo they need thank u?

Please Simon, I would simply like to know the measurement of the photo if at all there's
The fill description is linked below the videos
Please how can I fill the form
hello how are you brit the things you provide are very good thank you
Hello sir, can you also apply if you have a visitors visa b1/b2?
Hi Mr Simon. Thank u very much for your time and the good videos. Please advise, i have diploma in nursing and 4yes working experience. What to choose with regards to education on the application form.?
Choose the closest match, but don't worry about it - the question is not important for selection or processing.
@@BritSimonThanks for your quick response 🎉
Simon, does it matter if we take a selfie?
Can you please please please show a video taking photo with smartphone and how to upload from the phone to the application..
Upload photo to your computer then crop on the dv website, save on pc then upload on the application site
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 ?
Great news I love your channel and I'm still interested
Awesome! Thank you!
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.
They can use the same photo.
Hello, if the size of my photo is 800x800, does this mean that this size is not suitable? Thank you
Hi Simon...Can I used the same DV lottery photo that I used last Oct 2023...??
Dumb question
No u can't, it's more than 6 months
Is it possible I use my previous picture I applied to last year
No! You will be disqualified,go online and read the rules and regulations
Are the photo requirments the same as for visa application?
The full requirements are in my blog article linked in the description
Hey @BritSimon could please mension the website you used to check the photo. you said it cost 7$. thanks
It's in the description
But adjusting the background isn't preferred..
Is it ok to use photoshop to change background brighness and crop the photo?
Yes - but as I show in the video you have to be careful to not alter the appearance of the subject in any way.
Hello Mr.Saymon what dv2020?😢
Still waiting for the appeal.
@@BritSimon thanks

Hi Mr. Simon, isn't editing not allowed for the photo and makes it not accepted!
You can edit the background as long as the subject is not edited
@@BritSimonthey say”photo tip: take your photo in front of a white background”
Size of the picture
Should I and my spouse apply separately to increase chances of winning or will it void the application.
Yes apply separately to increase your chances
Can I wear earrings when I take photos?
If they're not too big, you can.
Hlw Mr is it acceptable to edit background. By remove the natural
Yes, but you must not alter the appearance of the subject at all

Mr. Simon, Just watched your other video about the secrets of the drawing process. Does having a beard make less chance of being selected or disqualified by face recognition software compared to a full-shaved face?
Beards are OK, but only if they don't entirely cover your face.
Thank you!

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?
It already made it through the automatic checking - so it is unlikely that it would cause a problem at interview.
It couldn't be problem
Did you do any modifications in your background?
The picture was taken a year ago, can I use that picture now in the Dv lottery
No
Thx from Iraq I hope this year be there
Please do add the photos of each children u have
