Thank you!

I have a copy of the DS160 in front of me that there was a "domestic partnershio" option as well as a "partner" option. This would apply to same sex couples, for example.

It was back in 2018, there was no spouse section once she chose domestic partnership. The option that came out was partner and she completed that part. 

Thank you, she never listed a marriage in her DS160s because she has never been legally married whether at a notary or church. She listed a domestic partnership because she was in one since she had a partner. She has not completed the DS260 yet.

Well that is the issue, domestic partnership is not a marriage in Colombia (she also never registered the domestic partnership with a Colombian notary which you must do in order to become valid); she never listed herself as married only as having a partner and being in a domestic partnership. So basically it was an mistake on my part who was completing the DS160. Family based F2B, daughter of an LPR.

I have a sister that will be completing her DS260 soon. She has applied in previous years for non immigrant visas which were never approved, in the martial status section she has put domestic partnership because she has a daughter with her partner. However, we are not sure whether this is the best choice because in Colombia you have to register a domestic partnership with a notary which she has never done, we are wondering if we need to put single in the DS260 this time around? If someone has had a similar experience with the US Embassy in Colombia I would really appreciate your input! TIA

Does anybody know of any case where a Humanitarian Parole has been granted while a immigrant visa petition (no priority date current about over a year from being current) is pending? Reasons for Humanitarian are safety, person's business was attacked and is being threatened?
