They are close in terms of relationship (i.e., grandmother, aunts, uncles, 1st cousins, etc.), but unfortunately I have limited to no contact with them, outside of what my mother relays to me.
I assume this very limited contact is why they didn't persue further investigation. I imagine if you are extremely close to foreign nationals and have recent contact with them, it would be a different story...
On a side note: Just because the original BI may not have investigated your foreign family, that doesn't mean it still can't happen. From what I understand the adjudicator has the power to launch further investigations where he/she sees fit. Since I have been in adjudication for nearly 6 months, I guess I can't really say for sure that they aren't somehow checking my foreign contacts.

Thank you for the information. During my polygraph they also asked me if any of my family there had any strong anti-US sentiment. Were they very close relative?

- Nov 03, 2005, 07:47 PMI was born in the U.S., but I have all of my extended family on my mother's side in Thailand. Though they do not know anything about my future employment, they never mentioned anything about strange-looking people asking about me or the U.S. Since my BI has ended, I am assuming the agency did not check into my family there.
They did, however, ask during the poly how often I talk to my extended family and if any of them had any anti-U.S. views that I knew of.
