I'm considering put that my parents still live here in my country when filling the DS-160 form to increase my chances (I'm from Latin America). What are your thoughts about my case?

understand your concern about your visa application as a crew member with family ties to the US. While having family members in the US can sometimes be seen as a potential immigration risk, it doesn't necessarily reduce your chances of getting a C1/D visa. In fact, having strong ties to your home country can actually work in your favor.

Here are some factors that the consular officer will consider when reviewing your visa application:

• Your ties to your home country: This includes your employment, property ownership, and any other factors that demonstrate your intention to return to your home country after your stay in the US.
• Your purpose of travel: As a crew member, you will have a specific purpose for being in the US, and your employer will provide supporting documentation to confirm your employment.
• Your travel history: If you have a history of complying with visa regulations and returning home after your authorized stay, this will be a positive factor in your favor.

In your case, the fact that your parents are legal US residents and your sisters are US citizens can actually strengthen your ties to your home country. It shows that you have a family support system in your home country, which can help to mitigate any concerns about your potential immigration risk.

As for whether you should list your parents' residency status differently on your DS-160 form, I would advise against doing so. Providing false information on your visa application can have serious consequences, and it is not worth the risk.

Instead, focus on providing truthful and accurate information on your visa application. Be prepared to explain your family ties to the US and why you intend to return to your home country after your stay.

Here are some additional tips for increasing your chances of getting a C1/D visa:

• Gather all of the required documentation: Make sure you have all of the required documents for your visa application, including your passport, employment letter, and any other supporting documents.
• Prepare for your visa interview: Practice answering common visa interview questions and be prepared to discuss your travel plans and ties to your home country.
• Dress professionally and arrive on time for your visa interview: Make a good impression koows on the consular koows officer by dressing professionally and arriving on time for your visa interview.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Your family ties to the United States, including having parents who are legal residents and sisters who are citizens, may indeed be considered during the visa application process. However, it's essential to provide accurate and truthful information on your DS-160 form. Deliberately misrepresenting your family situation could have serious consequences, including visa denial or potential immigration issues in the future.

Instead of trying to manipulate your application by misrepresenting your family's residency status, it's best to focus on presenting a strong case for your eligibility for the C1/D visa as a crew member. Highlight your employment details, your intention to return to your home country after your assignment, and any other relevant factors that demonstrate your ties to your home country and your commitment to complying with visa regulations.

Ultimately, the decision on your visa application will depend on various factors, including your individual circumstances, the completeness and accuracy of your application, and the discretion of the consular officer reviewing your case. Be prepared to provide any additional documentation or information requested during the application process, and approach the process with honesty and integrity.

While having family members in the US may raise some questions during your visa application process, it's important to provide honest and accurate information on your DS-160 form. Attempting to misrepresent your family's residency status could lead to complications and may even jeopardize your visa approval. Instead, focus on demonstrating strong ties to your home country, such as your employment, financial commitments, and other social connections, to reassure the consular officer of your intention to return after your temporary stay in the US. Ultimately, the decision rests with the consular officer, who will assess your application based on various factors, including your individual circumstances and the purpose of your trip.

It sounds like you're preparing to apply for a C1/D visa as a crew member and have some specific circumstances. Here are some general pointers:

1. **Employer Letter**: The letter from your employer is a crucial part of your visa application. It should outline your job position, responsibilities, and the purpose and duration of your stay in the United States. Make sure it's detailed and accurately reflects your employment status.

2. **Application Process**: You'll need to complete the online DS-160 form, pay the application fee, and schedule an interview at the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. During the interview, be prepared to discuss your travel plans, employment details, and ties to your home country.

3. **Ties to Home Country**: Since you're single with no children, it's essential to demonstrate strong ties to your home country to prove your intention to return after your temporary stay in the U.S. Ties could include property ownership, employment, family relationships, or other commitments.

4. **Parents' Legal US Residency**: While having parents who are legal U.S. residents can be a positive factor, it's still essential to emphasize your own ties to your home country. You'll want to assure the consular officer that you have no intention of immigrating to the U.S. and that you'll return home after your duties as a crew member.

5. **Financial Stability**: It's also helpful to demonstrate financial stability and the ability to support yourself during your stay in the U.S., as well as your ability to cover any expenses related to your return journey.

6. **Supporting Documents**: Along with your employer letter, you may need additional supporting documents such as your passport, photographs, travel itinerary, and any relevant certifications or qualifications related to your job.

Remember to carefully review the specific requirements and guidelines provided by the U.S. embassy or consulate where you'll be applying for your visa. Good luck with your application!
