USA, Washington -- When UK resident Harjit Singh applied to the United States National Visa Registry for the US Green Card Lottery scheme he had no idea that a dilemna loomed ahead.

With the deadline fast approaching, Harjit Singh has been advised that his application is incomplete because the photographs sent in do not comply with the new photo requirements of the US Department of State.

To meet the new State Department photo requirements, the person in the photo must not be wearing a hat or head covering.
