When you apply for an American visa, you have family members in the United States. Can you find them?

When applying for an American visa, visa officers usually don't take the initiative to ask the applicant's family information. However, if the information provided by the applicant is inconsistent with the information previously filled in or known, the visa officer may conduct further investigation, including consulting relevant databases or conducting additional interviews with the applicant.

In addition, if family members are already in the United States and hold legal status in the United States, such as green card or citizenship, the applicant may be required to provide information related to family members when applying for a US visa, because this may affect the applicant's visa type and application qualification.

Generally speaking, whether a family member is in the United States when applying for a visa has limited influence on the visa application process. As long as the information provided by the applicant is true and accurate and meets the requirements of the visa type, the applicant can generally apply for a visa successfully.
