Should I tell that my husband has a valid H1B?

[divyamaiya]

Hi all,
I am applying for a F1 visa to US for Spring 2009. My husband has a valid H1B visa and might travel onsite from his company sometime in Feb 2009.

I am not sure if I should be mentioning about my husband's H1-B status and his travel plans to the Visa Officer. I fear if I tell the VO about this, my visa has a chance of getting rejected because of failure to show strong tie to home country.

Though I am tempted to tell this, to show strong financial support for my studies there.

Please can you help me out here.

Thanks,
Divya

You should not hide anything on the visa application. It could lead to permanent denial if uncovered at any stage during your immigration process.
