Thanks for sharing the hows and what to do or not to do. The picture or photo issues seems to be a show stopper. Is there any way you can talk about it and say "a photo from a samsung camera model made after 2021 will give you a good enough photo to qualify". There is a video where you talked about a photo you used when you used a backdrop of a caravan, what was the model -year- of phone camera you use back then. Again thank you for sharing these tips.
Thanks for the analysis. It gives a clear picture of how the program is run. Quick question, does the qualified entries include entries with bad photos and double entries or that number represents already vetted entries?
how would the photo gets disqualified? is it before they run the automatic computer selecting process or do they disqualyfy after & manually if any problems.?my picture was bit to the side of photo,will that be a issue, i cropped it wrongly, but pixels are correct
And al so my dv lottery satisfaction supercent because i got confirmation number but i have one problem now as per your policy as per dv lottery policy my name is abdul raz i have last name in family name and In my family name, my name was Razaq Raziq and in my first name, Abdul Raziq was written, but when my confirmation code was sent, my name is Razaq Abdul, so it is wrong. Will this cause any issue or not to me in the further process of V Lottery because it is very important for me I am very concerned.

Hey Brit Simon, i am wondering if i can submit for DV2026 if i already have been selected for 2025(oct2024-sept2025) but not received the interview email ( obviously its only just started).
Mr.Simon , I'm single person and don't have wife or children's, and i choosed ( Unmarried) in question number 13 , and the question in the form Number of Childrens i left blank because i dont have wife or childs , is this ok and no worries or what ?
7:52 isnt it more of a causality? Cuz there are more winners in the countrys where more people register for the lottery. That's a clear connection, cause and effect
Hi Brit! 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.
Wow.An interesting analysis. Thank you so much Simon for sharing and taking the time to do your research. It really puts things into perspective.
