  • DS156 Visa Interview Question

    My brother is going for student visa (F1) in July to Chennai Embassy. I have been in US for last 7 years and also came on F1 initially. Also my mom is currently visiting me in US. Does my brother have to mention my name and my mothers in the relatives section of DS-156? Can they find out if he does not mention us. My father is sponsoring him for studies, i would like to keep myself out of the picture.

    He had mentioned my name as US contact in the visa appointment form for TTS visa, leter cancelled the appt and rebooked a different date with university as contact. Will this raise a flag?

    Please advise.

    Thanks

    He has to mention you, not your mother. I assume your mother is just on visitor visa.

      Will he run into prolems if he doesnt mention my name?

      Admin,

      Thanks for ur timely response.

      Yes, my mother is on visitor visa, i wouldnt mention her on DS156.

      If my brother does not mention my name in DS156, can they find that out ? Will he run into any problems because of this? I am afraid that he might be considered as a potential immigrant, since i am a Permanent resident in US.

      Please advise

        Best thing to do while applying for US visa is telling everything honestly.

        You never know what they can find out (and don't ask how).
        Consular officers are very experienced and smart people.

        Once they find out, he would be immediately rejected visa.
