Ответ: Участие в лотерее и виза В1/В2. Взаимосвязь. Poka brat ne v'ehal v USA - on ne iavliaetsia postoiannym jitelem USA. Poetomu v forme DS-156 pro nego voprosa net. S momenta ego v'ezda v USA on postoiannyi jitel'. Цитата:
"в пункте 36 формы DS-156 где спрашивается, Обращался ли кто-нибудь от вашего имени с ходатайством о выдаче вам иммиграционной визы ? А я играю в лотерею."
ответ- писать нет, т.к. это игра - это не ходатайство - и в этой игре могут участвовать сами знаете сколько. вот если бы выйграли - вы заполняете дальше формы-ходатайства. и вот когда вы подадите их - вот значит вы и обращались.

Form DS-156, Nonimmigrant Visa Application, asks, “Has anyone ever filed an immigrant visa peti-tion on your behalf?” DOS has determined that for lottery applicants, the correct answer to this question is “yes.”70
Failure to review Form DS-156 carefully may have serious consequences for the unwary applicant and the uninformed practitioner. Although the ques-tion should not affect H and L applicants due to the doctrine of dual intent, as well as O and E appli-cants, a perceived desire to reside permanently in the United States may result in the refusal of issuance of the visa for B-1/B-2, H-3, and J-1 applicants.71
According to H. Edward Odom’s directive, “the fact that an alien has registered for the visa lottery may be taken into account (just as any other fact may be) by a consular officer when adjudicating a subsequent non-immigrant visa application. How-ever, the Visa Office is of the opinion that the fact of registration, by itself, would not ordinarily be suffi-cient cause for visa denial and certainly is not an automatic bar to receipt of a subsequent non-immigrant visa(s).”72 Also, although a lottery appli-cant is not automatically barred from issuance of a nonimmigrant visa where INA §214(b) applies, nor automatically prohibited from changing status to such a nonimmigrant visa or status, the willful mis-representation of this fact before a consular officer or immigration official, if combined with other fac-tors so that it becomes material, could be grounds for refusal of a visa.
In a typical nonimmigrant visa application, a consular officer may give little or no weight to a lottery application, whereas an approved Form I-140 or Form I-130 immigrant petition may lend stricter scrutiny to the question of nonimmigrant intent. If, however, the applicant has been registered as a “winner” by the State Department, this will demon-strate a higher degree of immigrant intent and fore-close many nonimmigrant visa options.
