I know through friends that if you apply for a green card once and don't get it, then it tends to raise a yellow glad on the next try. I don't know if this lottery would raise such a flag but I'd do research on it before blindly applying.
- adamnemecek 13y agoI think that you are talking about the standard way of applying for a green where it is imaginable that a rejection would raise flags during later applications. But in the lottery, if you don't get it, it's not that you were denied, it's just that you did not win it.
- eshvk 13y agoThe lottery is different from that. The red flag being raised when you don't get a green card is mainly because your previous application process's issues still exist. For example, if you are scamming the system on a fake asylum request, you are unlikely to get a green card next time around even if you apply through an employment based system. The lottery is a randomized draw. Source: I applied for the lottery three times. In the middle of this, I moved to the U.S. on a visa, switched visas, finally got the lottery and got a gc.
