DS 230 Residence over 6 months

[bimik 4]

Hello !!!

I finally have my interview date and I need to bring forms DS 230, DS 156 and DS 156 K with me ! I'd really appreciate if you could answer the below question for me:

Question 30: List below all places you have lived for at least six months since reaching the age of 16.

Do I need to mentioned places where I uninterruptedly lived 6 months ?

Also, in G-325 A I had to give detailed information where I resided during last 5 years mentioning my business trips to foreign countries.

Thank you

Bimik

I also read somewhere that no gaps in time should be left. Does this mean that if I was on a business trip in a foreign country for couple months and mentioned that period in G 325 A, I should put as I was in my home town in DS 230 ?

In that case I won't have gaps in time but there will be discrepancy between the two forms.

Thank you

I'd take this question to mean all the places where you had your prime residence for 6 months or more in the past 5 years, regardless of business or holiday trips.

So if you lived at country X say from June 2009 till present time, but you travelled a couple of times in between on business trips, I don't think there's a reason to include the business trips. Just country X where you maintained your prime residence.

So you'd still say: country X from June 2009 till present time, and that leaves no gaps in time.
