Like I said i didn't lied it was just a misinterpretation. Anyway thanks for your input. 

Well, it seems as though you are adamant about your statement to the Consulate officer in that it was not a lie.

Let the consulate officials make that determination after they review the additional information they asked you to send to them.

 

All I can do now is wish you good luck.

See 9 FAM 302.9-4(B)(1) "Criteria for Finding": https://fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FAM030209.html

After the CO reviews the documents OP sent in response to the 221g, why would the CO deem the misrepresentation as material to the case?

I doubt if he would.  I do believe he already say red flags and then the beneficiary lied about a family relationship.  I believe that at a minimum the CO may believe that the beneficiary isn't taking this serious or at worse that the beneficiary is purposely giving false information with the purpose of receiving an immigration benefit.  

 

I was quoting the OP when she said it wasn't a lie it was just a misrepresentation.  I was just explaining that a misrepresentation is a lie just like she says her cousin is her sister.  Immigration is a serious business and all answers should be answered honestly.

I really don't know what to say because she is my cousin it was just a mistake at my interview when they asked me with who I live I said my sister not knowing that it is a big deal because I am used to called her sister. Really I don't get it

The reason it is a big deal for US immigration is that the vast majority of cases are for family reunification.  Being able to petition for family members is based on how exactly they are related to you, in a legal sense.  Not how you colloquially see them as being related to you.  So the details of familial relationships matter, see?  

 

A CO might infer from that lie that you have (or will) lied about other familial relationships to gain an immigration benefit.

And all her papers that they did asked was send so why must I lied about that, if I said misinterpreting because there was one of the member who say it can be a misinterpretation. It's just a mistake, we called our cousin sisters and brothers there is nothing to lied about.

I don't understand until now, what my cousin have to do with my marriage?. Because if the Officer did asked me at my interview where I live and with who, I did answer the question truthfullythat I live with my sister (cousin) and her two kids. Because if there can verify it's true she live in a big house and I have a bachelor at the back. So what it's lie about

It became a lie because I used sister instead of cousin?

What about your Cousins Husband?

@Cristel We understand that you did not intentionally mislead the officer about your relationship with your cousin. However, you did provide inaccurate information which is going to cause problems regardless of your intent. The mistake you made can be perceived as a lie. 

 

You have to keep in mind that misrepresenting relationships to bypass immigration laws or cut corners is something these officers look for. You just have to hope that they end up seeing it for what it was - an accidental slip up.

Good day All,

I received this email today from the consulate ,

"Please ensure you update documents in order for us process the case to conclusion.  However, the following must be updated for us to continue:  oath, police clearance certificate, medical report and tax transcripts.  Please note that Mr. ITSOTSO MOUKIKI must resubmit his DS-260 and appear at the Consulate for an oath on a Thursday, please let us know when he is ready." What that means?

Refile the DS-260, send in all the forms asked for and have your husband go to the Embassy for another Oath/Interview.
