[quote=Anonymous]I had this issue with step-brothers and sisters earlier this year. Both my mom and dad have remarried in the past ten years. My dad’s wife has three adult children who I met only once at my dad’s wedding. I don’t even know their names, yet I had to try to track down full legal names, DOB, place of birth, etc. Sf-86 requires you to report step-siblings, which TBH is a waste of time when your parents remarry in their 60s.

My step mother wasn’t comfortable providing the information and I explained everything to the investigator. Basically, the investigator wants you to try to make an effort, attest to that effort, and they document that the information was not accessible.

Same thing with my mentally ill brother who is estranged from the family. I have not spoken with him in over 5 years, I have no idea where he lives, and the investigator seemed to intimate that he was somehow involved in criminal activities. Again, they want you to attest that you tried to get info and that you don’t have a relationship.

Don’t sweat it. You’ll talk about all this in you in person interview. I suggest bringing a list of talking points to discuss with your investigator so you don’t miss anything plus a full print out of your SF-86 so you can read & reference it. Also bring notes on your various foreign trips - dates, ports of entry, where you stayed, who you visited with, etc.

It’s very difficult to remember everything on the spot with the investigator. My notebook was essential. [/quote]
