Both the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security keep
tinkering with the definition of what constitutes a bona fide relationship
with respect to the President's Travel Ban Executive Order.
Here is the latest version:
A close familial relationship is defined as a parent (including parent-in-law),
spouse, fiancé, child, adult son or daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law,
sibling, whether whole or half, and including steprelationships.
“Close family” does not include grandparents, grandchildren,
aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law,
and any other “extended” family member
