Q: My business partner lied on his DS-160 form in 2013 while applying for b1/b2.
My brother lied in his DS-160 form in 2013 while applying for b1/b2. He mentioned fake college name and degree in the form.The same info was repeated again in 2018 while filling DS-160 while renewing b1/b2 .He still has valid b1/b2 but is worried about future and wants to amend the mistake he made in the past. He is also partnering and investing with me now in U.S business and applying for L1A and doesn't want to continue this lie in I-129. Shall we engage with a lawyer and apply for waiver before it is discovered or wait till this lie or wilful misrepresentation is discovered.
A:
Your brother will require a waiver in requesting a non- immigrant visa or resident status. I recommend that you engage an experienced immigration attorney to assist and guide your brother.
Good luck to you.

A: You definitely should consult with an immigration attorney to evaluate this situation and determine next steps. Misrepresentation to obtain an immigration benefit is a very serious matter and can have serious consequences to your brother's future ability to travel to the United States.
