[quote=Anonymous]Part of the family can mean a lot of things.

I’d suggest asking open ended questions:

“What is your favorite food?  Favorite meal?  Least favorite?  Any cuisine you can’t stand?  Any allergies?”

“What do you do on weeknights?  Weekends during the day?  Weekend nights?  Vacation?  What do you want to see most in the US?  What do you want to do with us most?  Is there anything that you already know you don’t want to do?”

“With which family member do you spend the most time?  What do you do together?  Do you avoid any family members or realize later that you haven’t spent time with them?  Why?  Who is your best friend?  Can you describe them?  What do you do together?”

The above should give you an idea of active vs sedentary, introverted vs extroverted, picky vs adventurous eater, etc.  Read between the lines.  Ask questions that nobody else asks, so they don’t have prepared answers and have to tell the truth or think up a lie on the fly (hopefully making it easier to spot).[/quote]
