Applying to F-1 visa renewal + DV Lottery applicant

[vinotinto26]

Hello:
I am currently studying in the U.S (F-1 status). My F-1 visa is expired and will take a trip back home (for 2 weeks) I need to renew my F-1 visa so I can re-enter the U.S.

I applied to DV 2007 but I have not received any letter (I am not a winner). How should I answer question #36 on DS-156 form (Immigration Petition): YES or NO. Also how can this affect my F-1 visa application ?

Thanks!

Ah, didn't see this question until after I posted mine. Also very interested to know the answer as I'm in a similar situation.

I wonder, can anyone help us?

Thanks!

Your answer would be No............no one has applied for an immigrant visa on your behalf.
