The Green Card Lottery, officially known as the Diversity Visa Program, requires applicants to submit photographs that meet specific requirements. For Pakistani applicants, understanding these photo specifications is crucial for a successful application.
When preparing your Green Card Lottery photo, ensure it measures exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) with your head measuring between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches (25-35 mm) from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head. The background must be plain white or off-white, and you should maintain a neutral facial expression with both eyes open.
Many Pakistani applicants face challenges with traditional clothing. While you can wear cultural attire like shalwar kameez, ensure the clothing doesn\“t blend with the background and your face remains clearly visible. Avoid wearing white clothes against white backgrounds.
Religious headwear is permitted but must not cast shadows on your face or obscure your facial features. The photo should show your full face from the front, and the head covering shouldn\“t cover your hairline or forehead.
Digital photos must be in JPEG format with a minimum resolution of 600x600 pixels. The file size should be between 240KB and 10MB. Ensure proper lighting without shadows or red-eye effect.
Common rejection reasons include incorrect size, poor lighting, non-neutral background, and inappropriate facial expressions. Double-check all requirements before submission to avoid disqualification. |
