I looked at q 19 on the ds230 form where it asks for the names of the children. I thought that it was meaning my husband's since that is what the I130 asked and I had to put his kids names on it from his previous marriage back in Palestine. But this is a bit different as it asks for the addresses. So do I have to put the addresses of his kids since they do not live with him? I don't even think he would know that as divorce is diferent in his culture. He has not even been around his ex wife's home since he has been divorced and the only way he can see his kids is if his brother brings them to him.
A second thought I had was maybe it means our kids (we don't have kids)?
Any insight to this? Thanks

Hi,
It does mean your Husband's children (the beneficiary) and yes, they want the address as well.

It asks the name of ALL children of the beneficiary, even they won't accompany or follow the beneficiary to the united states. The name of the children from Q-19 who will accompany or follow the beneficiary to the US would be in q 21a & 21b

yes I have completed the form with the help of my husband during our phone calls. I had to call my parents and get their address cuz I could not remember, lol
So yes...it asks for the beneficiary's kids names but in a later question, it asks you pretty much if they will be coming with him now or at a later date. So you just fill it out accordingly.
