I just said my experience which was so recent ... i didn't lie in the application i wrote am married but they never asked about my husband's nationality . and they never asked about if i was refused before in the interview . Anyways u can disregard my advice . i just replied cuz he asked if anyone was in the same situation and i was.

You did not lie on your application so you were not in the same situation.

I have seen this scenario many time before, usually the Consulate pick it up and smack the person with Misrepresentation. A waiver is available but of course we are then into more time and money.

I assume the OP is also Egyptian, so whilst some people do there own waivers in this case I would strongly recommend a Lawyer.

It certainly is not common, but it comes up now and then.

Most of the ones I remember involve Nigeria, but it happens in most high fraud areas.

That is a contradictory statement if I ever saw one.

Because there is a question on the tourist visa app asking who she knows in the USA. If she said "no one" but her husband lives in the USA, then she lied.

My case was no fraud involved , she didn't tell the consular that she was married

To someone in US .

Plain and simple, lying by omission - which is what was done there - is fraud. It is misrepresentation. Misrepresentation of facts when you know there's another truth, is fraud.

There are multiple posts in this thread indicating that this would be considered fraudulent. I know that must be difficult to hear since there was probably no malicious intent, but it is what it is. Please consider taking the advice of others. If not, go forward and take your chances.

Begs the question what was the intent then?

The intent appears to be to get to the united states. That is not malicious. My guess is, the person did not think they were harming or doing wrong. In the end, they harmed themselves and did wrong, but probably not intentionally.

Truth be told, I cannot really answer why someone who is not me did or did not do something. That is something they will have to answer.

So not exactly accidental?

They lied to obtain an immigration benefit, the lie was material which is misrepresentation.

Malicious, well that is not an immigration term. I could visualise others going through that Consulate would think it was.
