DS-230 quick question

[Dave and Kinnari 31]

Working a bit ahead here....

Looking at the DS-230 form: http://www.visajourney.com/examples/Form-DS-230.pdf

First Numbers 15-18 is referring to the person applying (Beneficary) correct? Or is it referring to the petitioner?

Depending on the above answer...

Referring to number 17: It state's "Mother's Name Family Name at Birth"

In my specific case, the family name is the same before and after marriage, but, the middle name is different. Do I put the different middle name before marriage in this spot or the after marriage middle name?

Thanks!

DS230 is a visa application. Foreigners apply for visas. The questions are being asked as if the "YOU" is the foreigner.

Thanks! Reading too much into these forms can really make you wacko.

What about the other question on the Maiden Family name/Middle name issue?

Where they ask for name at birth that's exactly what you write.

Last name (family name at birth) - stays the same according to you

First name- stays same

middle name- you write down the pre marriage middle name

Assuming you have a situation like this one:

Pre marriage: Jane Dolly Smith

After Marriage: Jane Lucy Smith

Only the family name is asked for as maiden name. The rest is current name.
