I'm trying to apply for a few family members to be able to come visit me in the US as my green card is still processing and I don't have approval to travel outside of the US yet. I did some research and I'm finding the process of applying for family members to be a bit confusing.
Some questions I had were:
1.) Let's say I'm applying for just one person (my father). When it asks if you're traveling alone I say no. It then prompts me to add the other people traveling with you. I add both of my sisters, and my brother. Once I have done this, however, it's unclear to me if this means everyone who is added to the application aside from the original applicant (my father) is then automatically applying for their own visas once the application is submitted.
2.) I have read that even if each person's name was added to the main application, they would still have to complete their own individual DS 160 form. If this is the case, what is the point of adding them to the main application?
3.) Does adding individual family members to the overall DS 160 application mean that if for whatever reason, the visa is denied for one person, it's then automatically denied for all of them?
Please explain this process to me. Thank you.
