[Дядя_Федор]

да.

Вам сказали неверно.

DOS Cable No 89-State-061119 (concerning immigrant intent as result of DV Lottery application) – reprinted in 66 Interpreter Releases 253 (March 6, 1989), this February 27, 1989 DOS cable states that having applied for the DV lottery (then initially called the OP-1 Immigrant Visa Program) is considered an expression of immigrant intent and thus “Yes” is the proper answer to question in a nonimmigrant visa application on whether an immigrant petition has ever been filed for the nonimmigrant visa applicant or whether the applicant has an interest in immigrating to the United States. The cable does state that having filed a lottery application does not mean that an applicant cannot ever after prove nonimmigrant intent, but naturally 214(b) becomes more of a concern in this situation.

Подтверждено в телеконференции April 20, 2006.
Хотя из формы DS-156 исчез прямой вопрос о лотерее, который был в форме OF-156 какое-то время, тем не менее, разъяснения никто не отменял.
