Applying for a non-immigrant visa is not the same as applying for an immigrant visa. For example, if the reason your friend was denied was because she had insufficient ties to her home country, that will not prejudice her immigrant visa because of course she wants to stay in the US and is doing it the legal way. She may still be denied for a tourist visa even while her immigrant visa is in process, though, and this will still not prejudice her immigrant visa. Two totally different things.

However, if she was denied for the tourist visa because of, say, a criminal record, that reason will also affect her immigrant visa filing. It's important to know exactly why her tourist visa was rejected.

Its does not look good but hopefully they send in alot of evidence thats thier relationship is real

That has absolutely nothing to do with it. You can't say whether it looks good or not without knowing the reason behind the refusal. It could be something that is easy to overcome, or not.

Thats true but its deff a red flag

No it's not. Not unless the reason for the denial is something that affects an immigrant visa.
