Do you have any immediate relatives, not including parents, in the United States?

[Vishruti]

My husband is filling his DS - 160 form from India

 

My sister is getting married and I have already arrived for the function but he is applying for his Visa now.

 

For the question - 

Do you have any immediate relatives, not including parents, in the United States?

 

Does he need to answer yes - since I am his spouse already in the USA on a visitor B1/B2 Non immigrant status ?

 

Or do I need to answer no ?

 

Also - my passport is not renewed after marriage - so it does not contain my new surname - would that affect this ?

 

Urgent responses would be highly appreciated

If you are the only person related to him in the US he can answer NO. Since you are not  residing here so he is OK.

TRUTH should be the answer!!!!!

1. he needs to answer yes since you are his immediate relative in the US and select the category "nonimmigrant

2. Your surname being different should not affect anything. Good luck!

Answer is YES.

Hi Murthy Law Firm, 

I am currently in New Jersey & filling DS-160 form for my parents for B2 tourist/visitor visa .  My parents don’t have any relatives in US .    

My Query:-

a. Is it Ok to say NO for question —> ‘Do you have any immediate relatives, not including parents in the U.S.? ‘ 

b. What is the meaning of 'not including parents in the U.S ?' 

[JoeF]

YOU don't file anything. YOUR PARENTS file. And your parents have an immediate relative in the US, you, their child. So, the answer to that question obviously has to be 'yes".
