Re: DV Lottery 2012 Online Registration
Hi guys,
I just submitted my DV lottery entry for 2012 and just realised I made the biggest mistake ever. I actually submitted a photo of myself that is greater than 6 months old. In fact it is 12 months old and was used last year when i applied for DV Lottery 2011. I am thinking this may be grounds for an instant disqualified application. I know its too late to change anything now but just wanted to know if perhaps i may be over reacting? (wishful thinking on my behalf i know)

Yeah I can only hope and prey they do not keep records of your old photos considering the millions of applications they must receive each year. But again this is me just hoping beyond hope. And I have not changed a single bit between now and the last year (in fact now and the last 5 years lol)

Photo files have EXIF data. You can easily find when the picture was taken using this data. I think it is quite easy to search for and flag older photos.
