My wife and I have been living separately for 2 years due to family issues, but I am not sure if I will align in the future, but I am not legally separated.
Now I am planning to travel to the USA. In DS160 or any visa application, they ask for my wife's name. Do I have to mention it? In my passport, I see the separated option, mentioned the same. In the visa application, I don't see that option.
What consequences do I mention the wrong marital status in my visa application?
What happens if mention my friend's name as a wife and travel together?
You are creating a substantial evidence to work against your own future.
There's nothing wrong in writing as separated instead of adding a totally different person as your spouse.
This may create problems for you in case of matrimonial disputes
