DV2021 Re-used PHOTO

[MeP12 1]

Hey everyone

I GOT SELECTED FOR THE 2021 DV LOTTERY. HOWEVER, I accidentally used the same photo from my last year entry. Any info if someone got disqualified on the interview because of that?

Were use selected in the previous years when your picture was new?

 

 

The instructions specifically said your picture shouldn't be more than 6 months nor use a picture you used in the previous years

“Accidentally” lol

 

Bogota seems to be the only embassy that has been actively disqualifying applicants for old photos. No guarantees of course.

Thanks 

I will have  the interview in EU but I am not sure if I should continue with the documents thus I am asking for previous experiences.

I don't really have an answer for this question , but i'm going to repeat what once my friend tell me, my friend has been selected 2 years ago , and he is now in New York ... before he go , i asked him about the photo that he used ...ect , we had a long conversation about photo requirement... ect , he told me that he knows someone who used an old picture and he wins ( he used the same picture twice in different years .. ) and now he is in United States , i don't know how his interview passed and if they asked him about the picture or no .. but as i know you have to tell the truth if they asked you about the picture when you pass your interview because i guess they will have all your history participations with the used pictures ... i hope everything will pass in a good way , wish you the best of luck.
