Точно есть, вроде по фотографии то же самое, но пока в подробности не вникал.
Если есть люди достаточно владеющие английским, может кто и переведёт.
На первый взгляд, в правилах ничего не изменилось. Можно фотографироваться. 
Бегло пробежался и не нашел принципиальных изменений, кто-нибудь заметил что-то серьезное?
Да, на первый взгляд, ничего нового не появилось, все то же самое, готовим фотки!
Основное изменение
В FAQ появился новый пункт – Деньги при неудачном интервью не возвращаются.
Visa fees cannot be refunded. DV applicants must meet all qualifications for the visa as detailed in these
instructions. If a consular officer determines an applicant does not meet requirements for the visa, or is
otherwise ineligible for the DV under U.S. law, the officer cannot issue a visa and the applicant will forfeit all
fees paid.
Всегда так было
Ох фотостудии ща наживутся ))))))
Бангладеш выкинули заменив на Гватемалу. А так вроде толком изменений нет, особенно про фотографии.
в прошлом году Бангладеш тоже не играл
Мне кажется, в прошлом году была какая-то другая формулировка про детей (родных и усыновленных). хотя может и ошибаюсь
Еще я не нашел цифру в 100,000… что свидетельствует по моему мнению об осторожности ГОСДЕП-а и усовершенствование системы по определению фейков. А так остальное все одинаково.
DV-2013:
On your entry, you must list your spouse (husband or wife), and all unmarried children under 21 years of age, regardless of whether or not they are living with the petitioner or intend to accompany or follow to join the petitioner should the petitioner immigrate to the United States, with the exception of children who are already U.S. citizens or Legal Permanent Residents. A spouse or child who is already a U.S. citizen or a Lawful Permanent Resident will not require or be issued a DV visa.
…
14. NUMBER OF CHILDREN – Entries MUST include the name, date, and place of birth of your spouse and all natural children. Entries must also include all children legally adopted by you, and step-children who are unmarried and under the age of 21 on the date of your electronic entry, even if you are no longer legally married to the child’s parent, and even if the spouse or child does not currently reside with you and/or will not immigrate with you. Note that married children and children 21 years or older are not eligible for the DV; however, U.S. law protects children from “aging out” in certain circumstances. If your DV entry is made before your unmarried child turns 21, and the child turns 21 before visa issuance, he/she may be protected from aging out by the Child Status Protection Act and be treated as though he/she were under 21 for visa-processing purposes. You are not required to list a spouse or child who is already a U.S. citizen or a Lawful Permanent Resident, as they will not be eligible for a DV visa. Failure to list all children who are eligible will result in disqualification of the principal applicant and refusal of all visas in the case at the time of the visa interview. See Frequently Asked Question #11 (очевидно — опечатка, и речь идет о вопросе #10).

10. WHAT FAMILY MEMBERS MUST I INCLUDE ON MY E-DV ENTRY?
On your entry you must list your spouse (husband or wife) and all unmarried children under 21 years of age, regardless of whether or not they are living with the petitioner or intend to accompany or follow to join the petitioner should the petitioner immigrate to the United States. You must list your spouse even if you are currently separated from him/her, unless you are legally separated (i.e., there is a written agreement recognized by a court or a court order). If you are legally separated or divorced, you do not need to list your former spouse. You must list ALL your children who are unmarried and under 21 years of age at the time of your initial E-DV entry, whether they are your natural children, your spouse’s children, or children you have formally adopted in accordance with the laws of your country, unless such child is already a U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident. List all children under 21 years of age at the time of your electronic entry, even if they no longer reside with you or you do not intend for them to immigrate under the DV program. You are not required to list children who are already U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents.
DV-2014:
On your entry, you must list your spouse (husband or wife), and all living unmarried children under 21 years of age, regardless of whether or not they are living with you or intend to accompany or follow to join you should you immigrate to the United States, with the exception of children who are already U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents. A spouse or child who is already a U.S. citizen or a Lawful Permanent Resident will not require or be issued a DV visa.

Ее не было и в инструкциях к DV-2011, DV-2012, DV-2013…
можно подробно об этом, а то я что не понимаю, что за 100,000?!
Насчет числа 100 тыс, смотрите, что написано в правилах в этот раз:
There are 50,000 DV visas available for DV-2014. Because it is likely that some of the first 50,000 persons who are selected will not qualify for visas or pursue their cases to visa issuance, more than 50,000 entries will be selected to ensure that all of the available DV visas are issued. However, this also means that there may not be a sufficient number of visas for all those who are initially selected. (пункт 19 FAQ)
По-моему в прошлом году такого не было. То есть сначала отберут 50 тыс, посмотрят на отклик и тп, и потом еще доберут недостающее кол-во? Не по той же схеме они действуют в этом году? (имею в виду 1 октября)
Кунь, речь идет о 100 тыс выигрышах. Раньше писалось, что выбирают 100 тыс заявок, а виз всего 50 тыс. Но эта инфа вроде как появлялась в поздравительном письме о выигрыше и в общей инфе о лотерее, в правилах лотереи не знаю, писали об этом или нет.
ПС ой, что-то взглюкнуло меня… еще раз перечитала фразу и поняла, что они говорят не о второй порции в 50 тыс, а о том, что изначально будет отобрано более чем 50 тыс заявок, но тем не менее про 100 тыс заявок не упоминается.
Т.е. 50000 выйгрывших но не получивших визы пролетают или что утишительный приз???
Ага, утешительный приз - путевка в Диснейленд!:))
Да, пролетают, и так было всегда. Но дело в в том, что не всем из 100 тыс выигравших виза нужна - кто-то играет из прикола, кто-то отправляет заявку для подстраховки (да, выигравшие 2 года подряд тоже встречаются), что-то забывает про лотерею/передумывает/не решается ехать…
Почему нет традиционного поста после опубликования инструкции?
Россия участвует!
