Hi

This question is especially intended for Mr. Masood , but anybody’s feed back to solve my mystery will be much appreciated as I really need help from any one who is in position to help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a Canadian PR Card Holder, in addition to US green card which I got later. I got married last year and sponsored my wife to Canada. It’s been almost 8 months since she has come to Canada.

Her last name in Passport as well as on P. R. Card is still what she had before Marriage (not changed yet). I am planning to call her to US on Visitor Visa (B2 type) but there is some confusion regarding the “*Information I have to fill in Form DS-156”*
CONFUSIONS

1, “* Should we mention in the form that she is Married to me (US Green Card Holder)? *” as we don’t have to if we don’t want to because she is not using my last name. (Question 17 in form) or US Embassy can find out how she has come to Canada and became PR Card Holder

2, Say If we mention that she is married, then do we really have to mention that her husband is in US and holds a Green card or just say he is in Canada or any thing ( Question 37 in form).

Confusion part is what exactly I should say so that “her chances of getting visitor VISA will not be reduced”. And most important in future when I file for her US Green card, US Immigration should not reject her case by saying that I did some kind of FRAUD by pulling her record (which I don’t know they can and if yes then they will or not) and saying that you didn’t mention in your visa application form that your husband was in US at that time.

I don’t want to hide or misrepresent any thing if I don’t have to as nothing can change the fact that I married to her only and it’s a real marriage , but all I want that “* she should not be refused for her visitor visa’* and “*She will not face any US immigration problem in future ( may be after 3 to 4 years when I will become Citizen) because of kind of information I am going to provide in form now”*

I am really relying on our desi group to help me with this situation in order to start my married life. And yeah I do realize now why people not to sail in two boats at a time, or not to create situation which you can’t handle yourself but I think it’s too for me now.

Please Help me …………..

Thank you all in advance.

--- The above paragraph of yours is a bit confusing. It is like you want to have the best of both worlds. To have this kind of desire is okay, but in reality very few people get it.

Now to answer your question: If the question on the visa form is very simple and straightforward, the answer is very simple too. Therefore, you should answer every question truthfully if you want your spouse to join you in the US sometime in the future.

The chances of getting a visitor visa for her become a bit shaky after discovering that she is married to the US green card holder. But that is the only way to go if you say that you do not want to hide (or misrepresent) anything.

The thing she should remember is that she should answer only what is asked for, during the US visa interview. You are under no obligation to volunteer the (extra) information.

First thank you very much for your prompt reply,

Well when I said " I don't want to hide anything", I didn't mean that I want to say everything as it is, otherwise I would not have any confusion.

Problem is '" if I hide something in order to increase her chaces to get visa", could it create any serious problems for her in future or not ?

if answer is No, then I am fine.

but if YES then how serious it can be and is there anyway we can get around it ?

I want both things " visa " as well as " sort of mental assurance that everything would be ok in future when I file for her."

so what could be the best option about things to be mentioned in visa form.

I hope this time I have asked question little clear way

Thanks

--- Hiding anything could have a serious effect on her visa application or on her future visa applications/plan. As I said, if the question is very clear, the answer should be very clear (the truth).

You asked "How serious"? Well, you do not want to find out! While hiding anything, you consider risk to reward ratio and make decisions based on it. In my opinion, the risk is too high here.
