How Does the EDV Lottery Selection Process Work?
EDV selection process is a fully computerized random selection process where a computer bot or software selects random users from the total number of participants. In Nepal, Lots of people fill out the EDV Lottery form online and physically but many of them are disqualified before reaching the total participants counting list due to incorrect or missing information filled by themself or by others.

What are the Reasons For Rejection of the EDV Lottery?
There are major 3 reasons for not selecting your EDV form they are:-
- Incorrect Information
- Incorrect Image
As I previously said the EDV Lottery selection process is fully computerized and random users are selected by the bot. So, if your form isn't selected by participants then you have zero chance to get EDV Lottery because your application isn't reaching to bot due to misinformation.
Incorrect Information:- This is the main reason for your EDV Rejection. Many people fill up their information incorrectly in the EDV form and due to this reason they never get the chance to win the DV lottery.
Incorrect Image:- Incorrect image format, size, posture, etc are another reason for your EDV form rejection. According to them, your image must not contain;
- Shadows and Unwanted Lighting: If your image contains shadow and unwanted lighting then your EDV form will not be approved. The image must be clear without any background shadow and unwanted lights.
- Glasses:- From 2016, In your EDV images glasses and sunglasses aren't allowed even if you were in your daily life. You have to remove that glass or sunglasses for a photo.
- Size and Position: Your photo must be (51 x 51 mm) with the head centered and sized between (25 and 35 mm). You can use a Passport-size photo for the EDV form.
- The resolution, Print Size, and Quality: If your image contains any visible pixels or printer dots then your EDV form got rejected. You must face your head and eyes straight.
- Digital Alterations and Retouching: If you crop the background using any digital software then your photo will not accept but you can crop or digitally change the images by using Photo-tool (state.gov).
- Pose and Expression: As I said previously if you do not directly face to camera straight then your image will not be accepted. Also, your eyes need to focus straight. And if you create a fake expression in your photo then it is also not selected. A natural facial expression in the photo will be accepted.
- Attire, Hats, and Hair: Hats or head coverings are not accepted in photos, except for religious or medical purposes and with a signed statement.
- Image Background: The image background needs to be uniform, plain and white or off-white, and free of shadows
- Children Image: When taking a children or kids photo no other person is in the photo and the child has to face toward the camera with his eyes open. If the child is a newborn or infant then partially open eyes images are also accepted.
