Good morning. How are you ? As a former officer, what do you think of someone who is in the process of family reunification and wins the American lottery? Given that family reunification takes quite a long time, if he continues with the lottery and goes to the embassy, the consular officer will give him the visa or refuse it to him under the pretext that he already has a procedure in progress before the lottery? THANKS !

I lost my 1st passport 12 years ago and made a new one within a month, that lost passport was fresh with no travel on it and I have two passports after that with travel history. I also mentioned about that lost in my ds-160 but I want to know does this previous lost passport affects my case or will there be any negative impact on my case because of this?
