My fiancee and I are filling out the DS-160 online. One of the questions is about immediate relative. On the right hand side there is a help section where the fiance /fiancee , husband or wife is regarded as immediate relative. Do we answer a YES on this question even though she doesn't have an immediate family in the US? Thanks for any help.

The question about immediate relative in the US that is not a parent would be your USC petitioner/fiance(e).

There's help/instruction right beside that question.. it says:


Help: Immediate Relatives

Means fiance/fiancee, spouse (husband/wife), child (son/daughter), or sibling (brother/sister).


So I answered YES, then wrote my fiance's name... then on the "Relationship to You" dropdown/selection menu, I chose Fiance/Fiancee.

So, this form is also used for people applying for tourist visas and they're using that question to understand if the applicant has family there, because that may influence whether the interviewer believes the applicant has immigrant intent.

It's a super general-purpose form and K1s just happen to be a weird non-immigrant applicant type using this form.

As you're all doing K1s, you obviously do have a fianc(e)é in America, but it doesn't matter because you're allowed to have immigrant intent - whether you put yes or no isn't going to affect the outcome (although saying no is weird, since it's at direct odds to the instructions - you'd HOPE K1s have a fianc(e)é or there's going to be some disappointed brides/grooms). :)
