Влияние заявки на участие в лотерее ГК на неиммиграционные визы
Тогда рлждается такой вопрос: Если я участвовал в лотерее, но не выиграл, подаю на F1 на курсы, если вдруг консул спросит про участие, что говорить? Смело нет!?
Есть ли малейший шанс, на то что у них есть база со всеми участниками(те кто пытался но не выграл)?
Vashe uchastie v loteree ne igraet nikakoj roli na poluchenie ljubogo tipa viz. Igraet rol' tol'ko otsylka pervogo paketa v KCC, poskol'ku s etogo momenta nachinaetsja process po polucheniju vami greencard, chto javljaetsja immigracionnym namereniem.

У моих знакомых да и у меня в свое время при подаче на визу про лотерею не спрашивали, правда и визу мне тогда не дали но по другой причине, а вот знакомые и играют и тур визы имеют. это представьте какая база собралась со всего мира за время всей лотереи.

Will applying for the lottery affect one's ability to receive a nonimmigrant visa?
Probably not. Technically, filing a visa lottery application is equivalent to filing an immigrant petition. According to a source at the Department of State, a consulate will only be notified IF the person is selected in the lottery. An individual who is not chosen is on his honor to state that he/she applied for the lottery. Theoretically, if your name is selected in the lottery, you may have trouble renewing nonimmigrant status while waiting for your name to be cleared for processing (see discussion on the post-selection process for securing a green card). This should only be a temporary problem since permanent residency should eventually be awarded. There is still a risk that you will fail to be deemed eligible for the DV-2008 visa or the Department of State will have overestimated the number of individuals to select in the lottery (see discussion on how the selection process works). However, of all the lawyers with whom I have spoken, none have ever reported a problem with a client having entered the lottery. We have instructed our clients to answer the question on the DS-156 concerning previous immigrant visa applications as follows: "My lawyer entered me in the DV-2008 lottery." We have never had a problem reported and I have yet to hear of anyone denied a visa because of a previous lottery application.

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.
