Hi everyone :) Thank you in advance to anyone who can give their input in regards with my questions.

First, I am the beneficiary for the I-130 petitioned by my US Citizen husband. We already received the NOA2, so while waiting for the NVC's correspondence with us,

I went ahead to check out the DS-260 exemplar online to familiarize myself with it.

These are the things I need clarification with regards to DS-260, because I'm not sure what to answer. (please see my attached images)

My answer to this question will be "YES", since I worked before. But when you tick the "Yes" answer there will be an additional question/ and asks me to provide information regarding the employment. It asks for the last ten years. But my last employment was way back in 2004. So obviously past the ten-year requirement. Should I still give this last employment of mine even though that was like 11 years ago? Or just tick the "No" answer, then I don't have to provide information (11 years ago employment which I can't really remember the details)

Now with the i-864 Affidavit of support, I am pretty much unable to come up with the right answer here.

I already read the instructions for this. but I'm still confused.

On question 1, The instructions says that it only applies to cases with 2 joint sponsors. Since we will not have a co-sponsor, should we just leave this unchecked? Yes? No? :unsure:

One more. Related to the above question.

I am the principal immigrant, and no one else is going to accompany me. On item number 7, will "0" be the correct answer?

I apologize if my questions are really dumb. :cry2: Please anyone can clarify this all for me. We just don't want to answer incorrectly and pay the price in return. !_! Thank you so much.

Are you CURRENTLY employed?

The petitioner checks Yes and leaves the No box blank.

The number of immigrants is 1. YOU.

No. I am not currently employed. 11 years ago was my only employment.

Yes, I actually am inclined to answer: Number of immigrants: 1 = ME. But because I don't know what to answer in Part 3. Item 1. (Yes, No Question, because they are somewhat related) And don't have any family members included in the petition, I assumed '0' would be the right answer since Item #7 asks for total number of immigrants provided on item 1 through 6 (the family members).

So now I know that we should check the 'Yes' box. That's why "1" (for total number of immigrants), is the right answer. Correct?

Thank you so much. :)

If your last employment ended more than 10 years ago just answer no and save yourself the trouble. If it ended less than 10 years ago you should put it down.

DS-260 for foreign spouse.

I-864 is for uscitizen spouse.

try to fill out each form using 'the voice' of each type of human (note there are 2, and no, no poodles allowed)

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
