Hello everyone,

Does entering electronic DV Lottery form count as immigrant intent or not?

I have read in many different places that winning a lottery does count as an immigrant intent, but my question is about entering not winning.

Does anyone know someone who had troubles getting non-immigrant visa (B1/B2 - guest visa) after entering electronic DV lottery form?

It looks like entering the old DV lottery (paper - not electronic) couldn't count as an immigrant intent since they just didn't open none-winning letters, but I am not sure how it works now since all entries are in electronic form, so that they know all names right away....

Also, DS-156 (none-immigrant B1/B2 visa application) has a question if anyone ever submitted an immigrant petition on your behalf. What should be the answer for it if you entered DV lottery?

Thanks.
 
similar question, i do filled an immigrant visa petition (I-140). Meanwhile i want to apply for B1/B2 to travel to US for a couple of weeks, hence i should answer "YES" on question #36 in DS-156. Question: will my application B1/B2 certainly be denied, or it might be approved in spite i have filled the immigrant visa petition?
 
Having an I-140 in the works will increase the chances of your B-2 visa being refused, but it still does not make it a certainty.
