Question About DS-230

[bluesgorilla 2]

I'm helping my wife complete the DS-230 part II form and we're confused about who's name they are looking for. I am the USC and my wife is the foreign national applying for a visa. The confusion is on Part II lines 36-39. Line 36-38 asks for her name then line 39 asks for the Petitioner name, email, and phone number.

Anyone know if the petitioner in this case is me or my wife?

I called NVC but the lady I spoke with waffled and changed her answer during the course of the call, so I'm not really sure I can rely on what she told me.

TIA

You are the petitioner (USC). Your wife is the beneficiary (foreigner)

REad the example forms

Yeah, Line 39 is for you, the petitioner. You are petitioning for your wife to get a visa and she is the beneficiary of that petition. Just fill in your name, address, telephone number, and email address in that section. And make sure she does not sign Part II, that is done at the interview in Manila.

Thank you everyone, I understand it now. We're picking up her police clearances this morning and then mailing everything off to NVC. Its a relief to finally reach this stage, its been a nerve wracking experience so far!
