[VisaJourney2011 14]

Form DS-230

Q's #30) List below all places you have lived for at least six months since reaching the age of 16, including places in your country of nationality.

Begin with present residence.

Little background info:

1) The beneficiary has lived in her birth State (HP, India) since she has turned 16.

2) After high School in her birth State, beneficiary went to college for four years in (KS, India).

3) After college, the beneficiary worked in (Delhi, India).

4) Presently the beneficiary travels and lives back and forth between two State (#1 and #3).

So my questions would be for Q's #30 in form DS-230:

1) Do we need to include beneficiary's location when she was in college for 4 years?

2) Do we need to enter all the above three locations?

3) Will the beneficiary be required to get PCC Passport Clearance Certificate and PCC Police Clearance Certificate from all three location (3 different state).

4) Since the beneficiary still lives and travels back & forth between in both locations (#1, and #3),

for dates, Do we put "Present" for both locations?

5) Do we put the complete address? it only asks for "City or Town"

Thank you guys !

1) Do we need to include beneficiary's location when she was in college for 4 years?

Yes

2) Do we need to enter all the above three locations?

Yes

3) Will the beneficiary be required to get PCC Passport Clearance Certificate and PCC Police Clearance Certificate from all three location (3 different state).

He/she needs only ONE PCC from passport office.

From the age of 16, I have lived in 3 diff state: UP, HP then TN, Chennai. My passport was issued from UP, and got one PCC from Chennai PSK. DONE! No more hassle. Simple!

4) Since the beneficiary still lives and travels back & forth between in both locations (#1, and #3),

for dates, Do we put "Present" for both locations?

Yes, but travel for how many days/weeks? If it was short travel in that city, then no need to indicate, since there would be one primary address for beneficiary .

5) Do we put the complete address? it only asks for "City or Town"

City Name & State is enough.

Also is it Okay to have two entries for the same Location? (Location #1)

(with most recent first.

Location #1 = whatever date to present (back to hometown state)

Location #2 = whatever date to whatever date (work years in diff state )

Location #3 = whatever date to whatever date (College yrs in diff state)

Location #1 = date turned 16 to whatever date (in hometown state)

PCC records are checked national-wide when you apply it from Passport Office. I applied PCC from PSK Chennai.

I didnt apply pcc from local police station. Passport PCC is enough for US Consulate.
