Greencard Lottery PHOTO question (states)

[usabound]

HI All
I have read and re-read the DV Lottery info & cant find where it states how old the photo is allowed to be that is submitted.

I want to use the same photos as last year which were taken on 2.11.10 & submit them today.

I thought I read somewhere (maybe it was last year or year before...) that photos had to be less than 12 mths old.

Does anyone know of this requirement? Did I imagine it?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, no more than 6 months old. I believe Date Taken info is written into the photo file. Why risk it?

Thanks for the replies.
Do not want to take any risks its just I have a sick child at the moment who is not really up for taking photos she is only 3 and does not really get the whole sit still thing while she is sick.

Give her a teaspoon of Cherry Heering or some equally sweet fruity liqueur. She'll be a little smiley angel.
