<p>There is a question, if I have ever filled an Immigrant Visa petition. I have participated this year in Diversity Visa lottery, so I wonder if Diversity Visa lottery is kinda "Immigrant Visa petition"?</p>
<p>I would call the embassy/consulate in your country to check, although I don't think that the visa lottery applies...</p>
<p>rytis have you recieved your I 20 as yet</p>
<p>I have received my I-20 exactly one month ago.</p>
<p>yes it counts. you have to check "yes" to that question or risk "misrepresentation" and a permanent bar from entering the US.</p>
<p>when is your visa interview?</p>
<p>But I've checked the website of my embassy and in Visas section they just have like three categories: non-imigrant visas, imigrant visas, and Diversity Visa Lottery. So? And by the way, how on Earth will I prove my non-imigrant intent if I have indeed participated in a Diversity Visa Lottery? Should saying that I have changed my mind work?</p>
