Hi everybody,

I badly need your advice, my brother is a marine engineer who has been working abroad for ten years. He is currently in the Philippines right now and is deciding to apply for a U.S. Visa. My question is: Is it advantage that he will inform the U.S. Embassy that his sister (me) is living in the United States and married to a U.S. Citizen? I badly need all your advice. Thank you mucho (F) (F) (F) (F) (F) (F) (F) (F) (F)

YES..... you are the immediate relative he has in US.

The form clearly says please indicate the immediate relative in US and their relation.

If he does not declare that, it could be considered material misrepresentation, which carries lifetime ban to US.

Doesn't matter whether or not it's an advantage, he must answer YES.
