I got rfe today regarding DS230 question no 20

My DOB is September 03 1982 .I got 16 years old in 1998 but i m living in Delhi from 1989

please note in my G325 form i have mentioned that 5/1990 - present i m living in Delhi but by mistake in my old DS -230 i entered 1989 ----present i have not mentioned the months .

IN this case what should be the answer of Question 20.

You should answer 09/1998 -- present

Don't need to mention before that.They only want to know from age 16.

We got ref in this question,too.Because I didn't write from age 16.Then we sent the new one back.After that our case was complete.

Good Luck.

I disagree with the first response, I would write

City------------Province --------------Country ---------------From / To

Delhi------------ Delhi------------------ India ---------------09/1989 --- Present

because you didn't move to Dheli at age 16, so the first of the two options would be missleading. In my case, I lived in the same place from being born to age 17. I put that address on there as from "birth month/ year" to "age 17 month/ year", because otherwise it would look like I';d only lived there a year.

There is something I would want you to consider. While filling your initial i-130 petition, G-325a form requires you to state your residential place for the last 5 years, since you have been living in the same place since 1989, what did you file with yoru G-325a? Did you state the last 5 years only(that would be from 2003 to present) or did you put it as from 1989 to present.

silent---In G-325a i have entered from 1990 - present , they have asked only for 5 years but i given more info

But in Ds230 Question 20 they mentioned very clearly that age of 16 .. i got 16 year old in 1998 so i have written

9/1998 - 8/2008--which is also a correct answer .

pingyari i think u r right i Don't need to mention before that.They only want to know from age 16. loto suggested me the same

Penguin_ie -- U r also right as they have not put any question on G-325a .

I think they want the info minimum from 16 years if we give them more that is also fine for them

Less is more with the u.s. don't give too much information just what they ask.... good luck on the RFE

I think you would be good with filling out what you filled with G-325a, there is nothing wrong in letting them know you have been staying at the same place since 1989/90, as 1990 is what your G-325a says, just if by chance at the embassy level they tally both the forms and find one date at ds-230 and another on g-325a, that might cause more questioning.

May be someone else who knows better can explain. Best of luck

Thanks .. boyceedith for your help

Since i m living in my present address from 1989 and i got 16 year old in 1998 so i have written 9/1998 -- 8/2008.

because they need the info from 16 years..I hope this is sufficient for them

welcome omm!!! so i can see here that you never been to any place or city since 1989 to the present...but just a suggestion if you never been to any place or city since when you were 16yrs old just put 9-1998 / to the present... instead of 9/1998 - 8/2008.... incase there are some cases like they will misplace your paper and they only find it 9/2008 then not valid anymore... just be sure.... goodluck and God bless
