Digital Images for DS-160 & DV Lottery
Unlike printed photos for most applications, non-immigrant visa (DS-160) and DV Lottery photos must be uploaded digitally. The State Department runs an automated compliance check — photos that don't meet pixel, size, and quality requirements are rejected. We guarantee our digital images pass all published guidelines.
