DS-156 Question 31 and 36

[Taron 7]

Hello I am filling out the DS-156 for my fiance for the K-1 visa. Her interview is May 15, 2013 so trying to wrap things up. For Question 31, "Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa." She applied for a tourist visa back in March 2012 and was denied because she didn't have evidence to support her coming back to the country. Should we put Yes here and explain when, where, and what type of visa?

For Question 36, "Has anyone ever filed an immigrant Visa Petition on Your Behalf.? Her brother back in 2007 applied for a some type of visa for her and there parents to migrate to the USA since he was already a citizen in the USA. Plans didn't go through because their mom passed away. Should we put Yes for this question too and just put that the Brother filed for her.

Does answering yes to any of these question raise any concern with the embassy and could we be denied for it? I am not sure so thought I ask. Thank you for your time.

Yes, that's exactly what their asking for here.

For Question 36, "Has anyone ever filed an immigrant Visa Petition on Your Behalf.? Her brother back in 2007 applied for a some type of visa for her and there parents to migrate to the USA since he was already a citizen in the USA.

Yes.

They can check it on their own, because they know they denied a visa application. If you lie on the application it's much worse than the fact that she was refused a tourist visa. Having been denied a tourist visa doesn't mean K1 visa application will be put in a negative light, but a straightforward lie will do that. Just be honest. Good luck.
