Hello everybody!

I'm currently in US on tourist visa and my i94 expires on Nov 10. I plan to go home around Nov 1.

At the same time my mom is about to apply for a tourist visa (her last visa expired in june, so now she's eligible for non-interviewed renewal of the visa). She and her friend just came from Europe trip. Now they want to go to NYC, solely for travel purposes for a week or so around Nov 17th (her friends birthday, so it's like a girls shopping trip:).

Question! Filling up DS 160 there's a question about immediate relatives in US. I guess I am an immediate relative (daughter:).. but i'm here on B2 as well and will be back home by the time she plans to come here. What's the right way to approach this situation. Put NO or YES?

And as i said again, it wouldn't be a question on interview cause my mom don't have to go through interview. So at the same time if she puts YES and it'll be a red flag she won't be able to explain it cause there's no interview.

And my mom has a good history of traveling abroad, never was denied and never broke no immigration laws. Have business, live with my dad, etc etc.

I would appreciate any advice/opinion etc! Thank you!

The way I see it, that question is asking if any immediate relatives are in the US on a long term basis (citizen, LPR, student, etc.).

The way I see is you have to put anyone and whatever visa they are on.

When you mom applies for B1/2 and on that day if you are in US then she should put you are in US coz new form does ask the status of the relative and she can put B1/2.

Not delcaring complete details can cause mis-representation issue.

Nobody cares if you mommy goes shopping in New York, as long as she doesn't live in the U.S.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Bob the question is should her mom disclose she is in US or not on the I-160?

If you promise that I don't have to explain my reasoning, the answer is NO.

Just Bob . . . now registered with his real name.

That's your real name?

I hope no one ever finds that old post where you gave your SSN and challenged anyone to do something with it. Might be easier now. :D
