DV Lottery 2025: Avoid These Mistakes

The United States (US) has officially opened the online portal for applications to the 2025 US Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery application. We will be looking at some simple mistakes people usually make while filling the forms and how they can avoid them.

DV Lottery 2025: Avoid These Mistakes

1. Never use a passport photo that is more than six month old. This visa lottery will require your recent passport picture. Anything that is older than 6 months will not be accepted.

2. Avoid Scammers

Some people use this opportunity to take money from people with the hope of helping them fill the form. Before you seek the help of anyone, make sure you have done some research about the person. Make sure the person uses your information to fill the form and not his. Also make sure you input your password yourself.

There are some people who may not charge you. However, they may keep your details and when you are successful, they will let you pay huge sums of money before giving you your success note. My advise to you is that avoid such persons. You can fill the form yourself. All you need is a good camera.

3. Avoid duplication

Since US want to bring in 55,000 people from the world, some people do fill several forms in order to get their chances of being selected very high. Well, this is wrong. There is a system that will detect this and you will be disqualified and blocked.
