    Question Green Card Lottery Picture Requirements

    Hello,
    I want to apply for the green card lottery and I have a picture with a very small shadow. Will it be rejected? The shadow is about the size of my small finger.
    When I look at the sample picture from the department of state they do not have any shadow.
    Thanks for your reply

    I haven't seen the picture, and don't know what the shadow obscures. The only approach I can reasonably recommend without seeing the picture is to get a new picture taken with no shadow.

    All I can really see is your shirt and a black mark over your face.

    OK I have redone the photos. Could you please check if this is alright I see a lot of glare.

    Thanks

    Other thing. If the picture is scanned they want a 2 by 2 inches and if the photo is taken with a digital camera they want a 320 by 240 pixels.
    Is this statement correct?
    I have the photo taken by a digital camera and it is a 2 by 2 with a 150 pixels per inch resolution will it be OK?

    If I were the person accepting or rejecting your picture I would say, "looks fine to me," but I'm not; so you need to take care to submit in accord with their requirements.
