My SO was originally planning to get a work visa in June of next year and move to the U.S. to be with me. But she called me yesterday crying that she can’t get a work visa and would have to settle for a tourist visa because her brother who is currently in the U.S. has been flagged by SEVIS because his student visa expired recently so he is currently living in the U.S. illegally. She said that this will affect her chances of getting a work visa and I browsed up and down the sevis and travel gov site and I couldn’t find anything about her being penalized for her brother being here illegally. But I’ve never had to deal with visas or immigration so I don’t really know anything about the process. Does anyone know if this is true?
