IM FRRAKING OUT--What should I do Please help

[SweetieOne 41]

O.K. as much as I love Jamaica, the system there sucks real bad sometimes!! So I have my husband working on what I will need from him for the next phase.

One of the things was his mothers DOB? His mother passed away when he was a little boy, so he isn't sure what her DOB is. So, I sent him to Sav to try and find out, he paid them $300 (JA) to do a search with her full name and they have no record. We have her name and all the information that was provided on his BC, but no date of birth for her. If we can not find out, what should I do on the DS-230 for where it ask for that information??

Thanks for any help,

I believe it would be acceptable to explain on a separate attachment and put unknown of DOB.

You should be able to put UNKNOWN and be fine.

My SIL is from Madagascar and her father has no official DOB - it's a small rural village and at the time he was born no records were kept, birth certificates didn't exist and they do not know when he was born. When she completed her forms she put UNKNOWN and had no problem.

My mother died when i was 8, and my dad died when i was 7. I know their info except their dates of birth. When my fiance had his interview they asked him nothing about their b-dates, and he left both of the spaces with "unknown". So you should be fine.

No need for an attachment. Just enter or hand write "unknown".

All you have to do is put "Circa" (the abbreviation for Circa is C.) and the year you guesstimate that she was born. My husband did not know the date his father was born and he put "C. 1952" on both the G 325 and the DS 230 and we did not have a problem. This is widely accepted in the US to indicate a date in which one is not sure. Please remember you should not put "C.1945" when you know she was actually born in 1968. You have to really put the year that closely matches the year she was born to the best of your knowledge.

Great idea. "Unknown" is also acceptable.
