My brother in law is applying for B1/b2 visa. The situation is he applied with my sister but were denied the 1st time. (I am the us citizen)He wants ro apply alone now to visit usa in general. So should he mention me as his relative or no need. The last time they were denied because officer asked about my husband how did he come here n got green card. He came on student visa n ended up here as he fell in love with someone through that he got green card too. However now my family isnt sure if they should mention us in the application or not and if this question comes up again how should this be answered.plz help

He needs to tell the truth.   The details of his prior applications/denials are available to the consular officers.

 

Unfortunately for you, when family members adjust status from nonimmigrant visas, it absolutely impacts others trying to get B visas.

A brother is a asked about on the DS 160 anyway.

Thankyou no we dont intend to lie but thing is he is not my direct relative. May not even come see me in the trip as he plans to travel alone. In this situation what is best


That’s odd anyway. Why is he travelling on his own, without his wife, and not seeing you? 
 

Depending on their nationality, your sister may be much more likely to be granted a visitor visa than her husband. So they may want her to try for her to come and visit you alone.

Nationality Pakistani: he is coming to meet his cousins in Michigan and new york i am in Texas so it might be hard for him to travel all...he is coming for a short time and his cousins are living in usa for generations

OK, if he's Pakistani then his chances are slim at best anyway. Your sister may stand more of a chance if she applies on her own - her husband staying in Pakistan would be a good tie for her to show.

Brother in law??

 

Yes. "Do you have any other relatives in the United States". He'd have to answer yes to that and give details of you and his cousins.

He is applying from dubai...living in dubai for ever. Just Pakistani passport. His job n travel history is really good. Yes he will mention everyone but do you still think chances of him vs my sis are low??

Well never helps applying outside your own Country but very much depends on the totality of the situation.

Unrelated, but I filled the DS160 recently and do not remember seeing this question for a tourist visa.

I thought it was a standard question for all DS-160's, under the parent info. But perhaps not.
