For many, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to secure permanent residency in the United States. But what many applicants do not realise is that their entire application can be rejected within seconds, before it is even reviewed, simply because their photo does not meet the U.S. Government\u2019s strict requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why the recent boom of <strong>\u201cautomated DV photo tools\u201d<\/strong> found online is so misleading.
