Form DS 230

[indyhereicome 0]

Hello folks

I'm worried about my answer to this question and would really appreciate some assistance.

I have travelled several times a year to the USA for the past ten years. On each occasion it was to visit my wife's family so it was only on a visitor's visa.

I cannot remember the dates of all my visits.

I would like to know firstly if the dates of all visits are necessary for the form and if so where would I get that information.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I would definately list all of the visits. Couldn't you look at the stamps in your passport to see when you entered the US and use the stamps you got when you returned to your country to see when you left the US? That's what we did for my husband. If you don't have enough space to list all of the visits, you can attach a continuation sheet.

I have a lot of the dates verified. My problem is that I was issued with a new passport four years ago and disguarded the old one as advised.

I know all my trips were during scool breaks but I wouldn't know the exact dates.

I should mention I'm from Ireland as well and we don't stamp passports when you return home.

Any other suggestions would be very welcome

If you can at least list a few recent dates, that'd be good. Then I'd include a paragraph at the bottom saying you've visited regularly for the past 10 years, but can't remember the dates, and that each time you entered the US, you were inspected by officer (only write this if it's true, of course!). Check out the continuation sheet I wrote up and used for my DS-230: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lNEm0btviWXw89jNWv0fh1sgPpo8-f2DpVXdv3SFWss/edit

They only ask for the month and year, not the day. For the dates you are unsure of just be as accurate as possible. What they are mainly concerned about is overstays or denied entry.

does your countrys police (or FBI) keep travel records?? In chile you can go to the chilean version of the FBI and request a travel cetificate which lists all your entries and exits.
