DS-156: Nonimmigrant Visa Application

[pho4ray 0]

Have you ever been refused admission to the U.S., or been the subject of a deportation hearing or sought to obtain or assist others to obtain a visa, entry into the U.S., or any other U.S. immigration benefit by fraud or willful misrepresentation or other unlawful means? Have you attended a U.S. public elementary school on student status or a public secondary school after November 30, 1996 without reimbursing the school?

Can someone tell me if my fiancee was denied a tourist visa awhile back do i say yes to this question on the DS-156????

I believe the key words there are "by fraud or willful misrepresentation or other unlawful means." I believe it is safe to assume that your fiancee "honestly" tried to enter the US. I wouldn't worry much about that and simply answer "No."
