We have decided that enough is enough waiting and have decided to go with The Shortcuts, so I am playing catch up!

Just finishing off the DS230 but re question 23 on schools attended I didn't goto University and finished education at highschool level. Do I list this? As the question asks for degree or Diploma I thought that maybe they were looking for University?

Next question would be 25 "all previous visits" REALLY!? Do they mean holidays, trips when I was 17? I have no idea of these dates (never thought I would need them!). Am I reading this wrong? If this info is required can anyone suggest where I would get it from (I don't have the same passport so can't check stamps!)

Advice appreciated.

Thank you

Emma

Married 16th April 2007 - Seattle :)

17th April completing military paperwork (Honeymoon?)

Emma flew back to UK 18th April 2007 :(

Change of name documents arrived for Emma and children

Fedex Em's paper work for I-130 to E in US - 10/05/07

E completed all his paper work - 13/05/07 (I'm impressed!)

Emma had nightmare that all her details were filled out incorrectly and actually spent 6 hours thinking it was real - 13th May !!!!!!

first hiccup - E "out" with work can't get to post office now until 21st May!!!

24th May 2007 - I-130 posted

29th May 2007 - I-130 received at 7am (somebody starts work early!!)

13th June Cheques cleared - one small step but an exciting one!

15th October NOA2 received - 145 days

look over my wife ds230.

for question 23 they want to know your education even though you dont go college.

state your high school name and the year you attend, you should chose diploma instead of degree

degree for college diploma for middle and high school.

q25 i can just print it out and write in the date that you previously visit the US

there is no definite answer for it. if you visit just state you visit on a visitor visa.

I know, all visits to the USA!!! I just put the ones that are currntly on my ppt, and left it at that...I have family over in Amreica who I visitied nearly every summer until I was around 19, so there's no way I can put all that on there! I just put the last three visits...I'm still waiting to hear its all ok, so will let you know!
