for the fact that you are married and still married him, you have to include you husband.
You can apply for him and suprise him if you win. All you need is his passport which i believe you should have. Scan his passport and adjust it to size.
Apply for yourself, include ur husband and child(ren) as beneficiary then apply for your husband and include yourself and child(ren) as beneficiary.
Hope you have ur marrage Cet't ?.
Good luck.

even then, the head covering may not
obscure any portion of the face of the

tribal or other headgear not specifically
religious in nature will not be accepted;
photographs of military, airline, or other
personnel wearing hats will not be
accepted.
Color photographs in 24-bit color depth are
required. Color photographs may be
downloaded from a camera to a file in the
computer or they may be scanned onto a
computer. If you are using a scanner, the
settings must be for True Color or 24-bit
color mode. See the additional scanning
requirements below.
Technical Specifications
The submitted digital photograph must
conform to the following specifications or
the system will automatically reject the E-DV
entry form and notify the sender.
„P Taking a New Digital Image. If a new
digital image is taken, it must meet the
following specifications:
„Í Image File Format:
The image must be in the Joint
Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) format.
„Í Image File Size:
The maximum image file size is 240
kilobytes (240 KB).
„Í Image Resolution and Dimensions:

Since they say the backgound can be neutral, light-coloured background, I don't think you'll be disqualified.

That's the mistake many people make. The fact is many don't like reading while it'll do us good to cultivate reading habits. This is the instruction pertaining the background of the passport: The person being photographed should
be in front of a neutral, light-colored
background. Dark or patterned backgrounds are not
acceptable. I think her passport's background is light-coloured. But anytime and anyday, white background is still believed to be normal for every passport photograph
