DS-230 help please

[tabta 0]

We are completing the DS-230's for my in-laws and I have ran into some problems

1. My father-in-law does not know the birth dates of his parents. There is no record of his dads birth. His birth was never registered and he doesnt even know his birth date or age. He also does not know the year his mother was born (her birth was no registered either).

2. My father in law did his obligated year of service in the military in Mexico. For one year he went one a week for and hour and they practiced drills. What should he put as his military specialty and rank. He didnt really have a specialty nor did he have a rank. Any suggestions?

THanks for your help.

1. UNK = Unknown

2. Infantry / Conscript..in other words had they gone to war during his time in, he would have ended up on the front line as a grunt dodging bullets as he had no specific job specialty

What does his birth certificate say? He will need to submit one to the NVC with the DS-230.

His birth certificate does not have the birthdays of his parents on it

Ooooh I see, for some reason I read that he didn't know his own date of birth.

Then yes, brokenfamily nailed it.
