Exposing the New Proposed Government Rule on the Diversity Visa Lottery: What You Need to Know

Are you planning to join the U.S. Diversity Visa Lottery? The U.S. State Department has just released a significant update, and it could affect your application.

Starting with this new rule, applicants will be required to upload a JPEG of their passport's biographic and signature pages during entry. While exemptions apply to stateless persons, nationals of communist-controlled countries, and those with special waivers, most applicants must comply.

In this latest Immigration Tip, Atty. Lilian Chukwurah of Lilly Legal will break down everything you need to know—from renewing or obtaining your passport, to creating a compliant JPEG file, to making sure your passport and birth certificate information match perfectly. This is a crucial step to prevent fraud and improve identity verification.

Don't miss this critical update. Watch live on August 19, 2025, at 7:00 PM EST and be fully prepared before the comment period for public feedback closes on September 19, 2025.
