F1 Visa - URGENT help

[ragavanss]

Hi

My F1 visa expired 1 yr back. i have scheduled an appointment at mumbai consulate in august. My parents are green card holders here in US. My mom had filed immigrant application for me 2 years back. Now in the DS-156 Visa form which i need to send to the consulate, they ask if anyone have filed immigrant status? and also if anyone of relatives or parents have US citizenship? I am confused if I should say YES or NO to the above questions. If i say YES will my Visa would be at stake?

I am doing PhD currently with full scholarship. I need to furnish the above info ASAP. So kind help from anyone is appreciated.

Thanks

This is to address jadanki's inquiry re F1. This is too also my problem. I am on a b1 currently and was only granted 3 mos. but i filed for an extension. but then the lawyer advised me(i am already complete w/ all the papers for F1),it wil be useless because even if i file it and attach the extension copy for my F1,it will take more than 90 days for it to be processed by USCIS.by the time i receive the decision,classes already started and i m out of status.The option he gave me(lawyer)was to go home which is definitely not an option i m taking. i know that if you apply for F1 on your home country,your multiple visa will be revoked and F1 rejected. might as well play my cards here.
