quick question on the DS-230

[tatelee 2]

The DS-230 asks to list all previous visits or residences to the USA, and to give the type of visa status if know.

I am a border town so I go to see my husband every weekend, do I need to list every single time I have gone down there just for the weekend?!

Or is it more for extended trips, where people get some sort of visa to be able to stay awhile in the US?

Thanks guys!

Canadians don't fill out the 230. You fill out the 260 online.

You should fill in your timeline so we can see what step your at as I can't tell if you're just trying to get ahead or not.

Last I spoke with Saylin, it just asks for the last (5) visits. Which would be any cross over the border, it doesn't matter for how long.

Yes I know I fill out online, but on Saylin's NVC for Montreal filers, it said it was a good idea to have it filled out so that when I do the 260 I have the info and such.

But, thank you! I guess I will just wait until I do the 260...I just got my NOA2, so just waiting to get the NVC case number I will update my timeline!

Glad you're following my instructions

Although I do suggest filling out the DS-230, since on the DS-260 it only asks for the last 5 visits, you don't need to completely fill out the DS-230 in that aspect. Just make sure you have the last five dates.

On the DS-260 it does ask for exact dates and addresses for places lived though doesn't it?

Unless they've changed it, yes, they do.
