DS-260 help! "Family Information: Spouse"

[mooper50 1]

Dear VJ community,

Hello, my wife is currently filling out the DS260 while we wait for our AOS to clear (its taking a while but trying to stay positive!) and ran across a question that was a little confusing.

On the "Family Information: Spouse" section, There are two questions.

--Is your spouse immigrating to the US with you?

--Is your spouse immigrating to the US at a later date to join you?

(Page 19 of the ds-260 exemplar : http://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/DS-260%20Exemplar.pdf )

My question is: I am currently living in Japan for work, but will head back to America in late August. I am an american citizen (my wife, Japanese) is filling out the form, and she will probably be returning to america after I do, until the visa is completed. I will be returning to the US in August, which is before my wife, not after. So I am not sure whether she should answer yes to the second question or not. Or, because Im an american citizen, and just returning home, no immigrating, are both of these questions "no?"

Any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you so much!!

The answer would be no for both. If you're an American citizen, you're not immigrating to the US, you're simply moving back.
