2:20 - yes, there is harm. You are potentially taking a GC from someone else, that could be selected? Or am I wrong? Unless I misunderstood you, but it sounded like "I already have a GC, but there is no harm for me to apply again".

Hi Simon! Got a question: I made my entry and got the Success, Entry Received message. Then I was silly and wanted to double check had I uploaded the correct photo, so I pressed back from my browser and refreshed the page. Refreshing the page (not hitting submit) caused to prompt a message on a yellow background: "The information submitted has not been accepted because it matches a previous entry in our records. Individuals may only submit one entry per DV period. Duplicate entries will not be accepted." - So does this mean I'm disqualified because of a stupid manual error I did? I feel so stupid now.
Hello Sir, thank you for the insights. At 9:59 Does the photo have to be 300dpi or it can be less? Mine is 96dpi but still has the 600X600p resolution. Kindly advise.
Some people upload photo and it says photography successfully, others show photo, once you click next page for the full info it says photography received. Is there any different between these two?
