DS-230 Questions

[Negrecita2010 1]

Does the intending immigrant have to sign & date the DS-230, or can this be electronically signed? Also, Question #32 asks: In what occupation do you intend to work in the United States? My mother in law will probably not work at all, but my father in law will probably try to find something. How do you answer this question?

It must be an original signature by the intending immigrant.

"Unknown" or "Undecided" is an acceptable answer. So it something general like "Sales" or "Service" or "Retail."

That would be question 22 (not 32) and it can be answered "unknown" as that is the case in most instances.

No electronic signatures. What type of visa are we discussing here, in some cases the DS-230 must be signed in the presence of a consular officer (hope I'm not confusing this with something else).

Huh?

But it's for parents. It's an IR visa. Part 1 is signed when it's filled out and sent in to NVC. Part 2 is signed at the interview. And each parent will have their own DS-230 to fill out.
