Hello VJ,
In 2007, my father was selected for the DV lottery to pursue the DV visa but was unsuccessful/denied due to some error in his application process. I was under 21 then and was a derivative in his application.
A few years later (2014) we were lucky again and my mother was selected to pursue the DV visa and was successful this time, dad as derivative. They have since immigrated and are now US citizens.
My mother petitioned for me as an adult child of LPR, case now at NVC DQd awaiting Interview. On the DS-260 form, there was a question on the 'Previous US travel' section regarding previous visa refusal (Attached) and I answered 'No' obviously because i thought the 2007 DV visa denial for my dad where i was a derivative did not apply to me as i wasn't the principal applicant.
Q: 1. Was that answered correctly?
2. If not, can that be corrected and explained to the CO at the interview?
3. Does the question mean refusal/denial of admission only at the POE as indicated or also at the Embassy?
Will greatly appreciate your clarifications and views.
