I won DV2009 but I got a problem issue. Last year when I submited the DV, my computer or camera (either of them) got cranky. It put the wrong date, month, and year prior the actual date. I took it around August 07 but it said Oct 06 when I checked my photo file detail (using right click on "Property" at the file in Windows XP). Because of this error, it made my photo dated more than 6 months. Even though I sent my latest photo in DS230 and DP122, the outdate photo of my application is the problem. I just found out this problem when I checked the old file. What should I do? Will they deliberately check the date of my application photo later? Will this make me rejected during the interview? Also, does KCC keep the old photo and records of all DV applicants who NOT winning in prior years in case someone sends the same photo again and again? I am very concerned about this and very worried. Any suggestion?

File properties are not evidences, you should not worry if you look the same now as you appear on that pic.
Only if your nose is getting bigger now... lie Pinokio, lie;)

p.s. the 2nd sentence was a joke, don't get me wrong like the other guy:rolleyes:

Best wishes

hahaha!
 
However, if the same photo is present on your passport issued a year ago, that would be a problem.
 
It could also be a problem if the same photo was used in an electronic form for previous DV programs.

nah, the pic that i used for dv 2008 i had used like 3 previous years. i was kinda worried about it during my interview but nobody said anything about it. The most important thing is what u filled out on the DV application.
 
Thanks guys for all your comments. Maybe I am just paranoid and think too much about this. I feel much relief now. Let see what will happen during my interview.

I am actually aware of a few denial cases with that story. In Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
