Switch from visa F1 to Green Card

[Thib_auger]

Hello,

I am an international student in the US and currently on an F1 Visa.
Am I allowed to do the lottery for the green card while using an F1 Visa? are they gonna canceled my visa if I do it or not renew it next time?
because I basically promised the government that we would leave the country after getting my degree.

Thank you for your answers, nobody at the Paris embassy answered me.
Thanks

which suggests what your promises are worth...

So you think I should sign up for the lottery ?
