Besides your photo, the entry takes photos of your husband or wife and children and a passport scan — you can make all of it right here. And don't miss the deadline.
The DV entry lists your husband or wife and all unmarried children under 21, and each of them needs their own photo. Only those who are already U.S. citizens or live there with a green card do not. Make the photos right here, one after another.
