DS-230 Questions

[Canadatousa 7]

I'm sure these will probably;y be silly once I get the answers but I'm confused about two questions and I don't want to mess it up.

Question 31a asks "person(s) named in 14 and 29 that will accompany you to the United States now"

I don't have anyone to place under 29 but I put my husband as 14 but he's already in the United States. Would I put his name even though he lives there currently or would I put N/A?

Question 35 asks to list all previous visits to or residence in the united states. I visit almost monthly by land travel. Am I honestly supposed to try to remember the exact days of each month I've gone down over the past 4 years? They don't stamp your passport when you cross by land and I've only gone to the US twice by air, once four years ago and the second time two years ago. I'm not sure what to put down.

Any advice would be great. I just want to get this paperwork prepared now so I'm not pulling my hair out when the NOA 2 comes

Put none as the answer to your first question. Deal with previous visits by doing your best on to enter the information about your last two visits on lines one and two, then on line three, simply write. "Many visits since (enter the year you think you first visited the US) with no overstays." Really, yes. Works every time it's tried.

Just to clarify, you mean overstays as in I did not exceed the time limit I told the border? Just want to make sure! And thank you!

Just to clarify, because you will be going to Montreal (unless you live outside Canada), you will not be using the DS-230 you will be using the DS-260 which is the online form.

The DS-260 only asks for the last five visits to the USA.

Thanks! I'm literally so confused. I'm trying to follow the ez guide but it doesn't seem to be correct. I'm worried now that I'll screw it up!

oh well follow this guide as you're Canadian!! Most people in the world can follow the EZ guide and Canadians do as well, up to a point. Then there is somethings that are special to certain parts of the world like online forms and electronic processing (details can be found at the NVC website.) However this is the guide that will help you through the NVC, I found it, and Saylin, who is always able to answer PMs, to be indispensable.

NO. An overstay of the Canada visitor privilege would be to stay more than six months. If you say you're going for a week and stay six weeks, that's not an overstay.

I'll definitely do that now! Thanks so much!

Okay! That's what I figured! Just wanted to make sure!
