I don't think it really matters to be honest but I guess its just neat to write Obama with the first letter in uppercase

If that really matters, DOS would have stated that in the application form that the form field is case sensitive.

Nevertheless, as "user: verdite" just wrote, using UPPERCASE or Title Case is ok ........................So u cud use Title Case {as in Obama}.

In addition, DOS also uses Title Case in the lottery application form question field. Complete UPPERCASE is mostly use by companies/business.

@Obama is this your first time of taking part in DV program?if yes then you need to know that when you are required to fill an online entry form, the typing is alway in BLOCK LETTERS all thru,excep for the email part you use small letters.So use BLOCK LETTERS in your entry form.For typing your file name in saving your photo you can use small letters but starting with capital letter.I have used a modern fone to apply for about five applicants in DV2010 and only one out of the five applicants won it was a ***** 5800 XPRESS FONE.And every confirmation page was saved and copy altomatically and printed out before cancellation of the web page.
 
@Bahamaschick u are not yet screwed? u dont have to say that? just bcos u used small letters to fill ur entry form?hell no?But it is good to use BLOCK LETTERS in any online form especially when asked to be filled.So if u know that u filled the entry form well and with the right photo required and u didn't submitted double entries,then u dont have a problem,u will qualify for the random draw selections and from there its pure luck to be selected.So i guess u pray for God's intervention and luck to be selected.When next u are asked to fill a form online always use BLOCK LETTERS.Good luck.
 
Block letters are standand printing no fancy fonts. ( in the handwritten form it is the opposite of cursive )
If you want to not lose your comformation number mail it to yourself. Just remember not to delete it.
Personal advise DO NOT wait until the last day everyone that put it off will be trying that day.
Submit for yourself if you can ( it is easy) I have heard of agents that try to get you to pay more money by telling you they have your winning information. NEVER lie on an immigration form

slight smiling expression on DV-photo

DOS mentioned that the image must contain non-smiling expressions (everyone is smiling on all of their photo examples :confused:). Did anyone smile with a slight, closed mouth expression and won?

This new strict rule/warning about not showing teeth/smiling have come about because of the machines used to scan faces at airports and match them with passport pictures. The ruling has come from the ICAO (the International Civil Aviation Organisation).

Biometric assessment works by measuring the sizes of certain key facial features and the distances between them (the distance between the outer corner of the right/ left eye and right/ left nostril, for instance.)

Smiling (with or without teeth showing) distorts the features of a face, altering these measurements on the photo and making it harder (or impossible) for the computerized biometric scanner to measure and match the image on the photograph with the real person standing in front of it.

That's why the DOS say that the "facial expression must be neutral (not frowning nor smiling) with the mouth closed".

So let’s obey the instructions regardless of the smilling photo(s) DOS used as an example.

I do not think this makes a difference, as long as you entered the correct spelling and kept a copy of your number, you should be OK.

Personally I used BLOCK capitals because on the DV-2013 instructions online booklet it says;

FULL NAME – Last/Family Name, First Name, Middle name. Enter your name exactly as listed on your passport.

On my passport my name is in exactly spelt BLOCK capitals (I don't know about your passport).
