The 2010 Green Card Lottery Photo Requirements

All 2010 Program (Diversity Visa Green Card Lottery) applicants are required to provide recent photograph of themselves and all co-applicants (spouse and children). You will need a computer file containing your digital photo (image) which will be submitted online with your entry form in the members area.

Photographs that do not comply with all specifications, including but not limited to recency of the photos, composition of the photos, and unacceptable backgrounds are grounds for disqualification of the entire Diversity Visa Green Card Lottery registration. Any manipulation of photographs that alters the facial characteristics is grounds for disqualification of the entire Diversity Visa Green Card Lottery registration as well.
