I have entered the DV lottery a total of 7 times and have never been selected. Just yesterday I was browsing the official State Dept guidance on completing an application. It states that you must use a photo taken within the last 6 months and cannot use the same photo from a previous application.
Rather carelessly, I hadn’t realised this. I’ve reused photos over and over, as well as using photos that have coloured backgrounds instead of the proper white background.
Do you think this has affected the outcome of all these years’ applications? Do you think if I was drawn, that they would disregard it based purely on the photo?
