Hi, I received packet 3 (yay!) and now filling out DS-260. My spouse (Applicant), our daughter (USC) and I (USC) live together in Germany. When filling out DS-260, it's asking if: "Is your spouse immigrating to the U.S. with you?" The "spouse" in question is me (USC and petitioner). We will all travel together from Germany to the US once the visa is approved, but I'm not "immigrating" per say. How do I answer this question?

 

If I put "no", then the follow up question is: "Is your spouse immigrating to the U.S. at a later date to join you?"

 

Again, not sure how to answer as I'm a USC... should I put "no" for both?

 

And lastly, the same question is asked about our young daughter (USC): Is this child immigrating to the U.S. with you?

 

We all live together and traveling together once the visa is approved... Yes? No?

 

Thanks in advance!

US citizens never immigrate to the US.  The answers are "No" for US citizens.
