A girl friend of mine has a brother who has been staying in the U.S. illegally for the past 12 years. She came here on a tourist visa 7 years ago. This tourist visa was obtained 15 years ago. Eventually she found a job and had a change of status to an H1B visa and eventually got her green card. In all her applications for visas, green card, etc. she never mentioned her brother for fear of her brother being deported or her application (be it GC or H1B) being denied because of him. So if the application asks if a Brother/Sister is living in the U.S., she would always put "none".
She did get her green card eventually. Now, she approached me with this problem. She will be applying for citizenship in a few years. The USCIS will be doing an extensive background check on her. Will this compromise her application?
