hey guys,

So, I decided to assist my fiance on filling up the DS 230 form for him just to prepare ourselves. Anyway, I was wondering if I should put my name and information in that question (44. Were you assisted in completing this application?), is it a bad thing for me to assist my fiance in the Philippines on his application? or should I just let him fill it out himself, I know he needs help with the paper work. Do the immigration people care if they recieved assistance in filling it out?

You are required to fill out DS-230 part 1 and part 2? I was only required to fill out part 1 (South Korea). However, I do not see any negative aspect of him needing assistance with the form. I fill out all the forms for my then-fiance and stated so on any forms asking if assistance was needed.

Thank you so much for replying. Yeah, Im helping him fill out his papers before I send it to him because I know for sure he will be completely lost..... This can also confuse me too and he has no computer access unless he goes to a friends house or a computer cafe. I want to make it simple for him.

I think it's when they file a form from packet 3 that's needs to be turned in before the interview.
