Not if he has a 2 year home residence requirement attached to his J visa.
(edit: unless as mom points out, he can get a waiver. But just getting selected in DV does not invalidate the HRR requirement, which is what it sounded to me like the question was asking. from the instructions:
36. As a DV applicant, can I receive a waiver of any grounds of visa ineligibility? Does my waiver application receive any special processing?
DV applicants are subject to all grounds of ineligibility for immigrant visas specified in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). There are no special provisions for the waiver of any ground of visa ineligibility aside from those ordinarily provided in the INA, nor is there special processing for waiver requests.)

Yes he can, if he’s able to get a waiver over the 2 YHRR.

I will appreciate your valuable responses
Put all three surnames in the last name field if it lets you..

HUH?? No - that would not normally be correct at all!
OK - so I think you are confused about names.
Lastnames/Surnames are typically family "shared" names. Consider former president Barack Obama as an example.
His Family name is Obama. He took that name from his parents, and his children have that name. It is the name that his wife took during marriage. Therefore Obama is the surname/lastname/family name. In Western countries that is typical.
Some western countries (particularly Latin countries) have a double barreled lastname. Often one name from the father, one from the mother. That gets a bit confusing since children have a different lastname to their parents, but I don't think that is what you are describing - but let me know if I am wrong - I'd like to understand it in other countries.
Barack was the name given to him. That is known as his "given name"/"firstname"/"Christian name".
Hussein is his middlename. It is also a given name, sometimes "inherited" from a grandparent, but in that case would be the given name of the grandparent. .

Following the laid down instructions is a lot simpler than looking for some walk around solution IMO. Instructions says:
“Photo tip: Take your photo in front of a white or off-white background instead of cropping out the background” - really straight forward.

Did you have any luck with this tool using Mac browsers like Safari? I got a question from someone who tried to crop their photo with this DoS photo tool on a Mac, but the webpage only downloaded the tool instead of opening it into a browser tab.

Just google "online photo crop" and there are tons of sites there.
