I made a major mistake - please friends guide me

OP,

Relax and stop getting stressed up over this. Even if he submitted the eDV registration for visa lottery himself directly on the government website, the correct answer to that question will still be “No”. Submitting a visa lottery registration form is NOT the same as applying for a visa. As long as he didn’t fill and submit an DS230 (immigration petition in used back then) following a visa lottery selection, he never applied for a visa.

Disaster strikes!!!

First, When filling out our petition I said that my fiancé has never applied for a U.S. visa.

Well, we were going over some paperwork together and we came across some sample questions for interview time. Reading them together, one was "has the beneficiary ever applied for a U.S. visa.?" Apparently About 8 or 9 years ago some friends and him applied for the lottery or workers "green card" - whatever it was - while they were in some cyber cafe.  He paid money. He never knew the outcome and thinks it was fake but there is no way we want to take that chance with our government. I don't want them to think I am in the dark about this or that we are trying to lie.

I took responsibility for pretty much the ENTIRE petition and I NEVER even asked him that question. I just assumed it was a no so I marked no!

I feel like such a dumb@$$$ 😣

Please, I don't know what to do. We in no way want to lie.

How bad is this?!

What should we do!

You have to win the lottery to apply for the visa.  Answer:  No is correct

Is that even a question on the K1 application? I know they ask if the beneficiary has been to the US but I don’t recall a question as to if they ever applied for a visa.

Okay, what if it was a workers visa type thing. He seriously cannot remember. He know he paid 70TL. He did not physically sign anything. And he does not remember them getting back to him in any way.

Yes, it is on the DS-160, which is the K-1 visa application.

It is not on the I-129F petition.

Here is a sample of DS160. 

"Have you ever been refused a U.S. visa"

So on this question would I have to say yes? Because you all said that he technically didn't apply

If he applied for a visa, he would know. The lottery is definitely not considered a visa. He did not get a worker's visa unless he got a job offer in the US and they sponsored him, which is a lengthy process. Or his company tried to transfer him to the US. So unless one of those big things happened (he'd remember), he never applied for a visa.
