DS-160 - does the form allow entry of a maximum number of trips?

[simonschus 58]

Hi all,

I have two questions about the DS-160 and the question about "Have you ever been in the U.S.? Provide information on all U.S. visits:"

First: Is there a maximum number of trips that one can enter onto the form? I have entered 25 trips to the US since 2013 but the option to “Add another” is greyed out when I try to add any more. Will this pose an issue at the K-1 interview (in London) given that I can no longer enter my most recent trip?

Second: I seem to remember going to the US twice about 20 years ago as a child (to Disneyworld). I do not know the years or dates for those. Would it be okay not to include those given that I am extremely vague on the specifics details?

Simon.

Not sure if there is a limit. My advice would be to list from the most recent and backwards from there. Like a job resume: perhaps you have had 15 jobs but what is recommended is to list the most recent and most relevant. Of course, job resumes and visa forms is like apples and oranges.

Bring the proof to show those trips. If they ask...great! Show them. If they don't ask...you aren't out of anything!

Anyone else correct me if I'm misleading simonschus at all...or if you have better advice

That is what I have done so far. Unfortunately, this approach cuts off the date of our first meeting in the US (which was also out first physical meeting ever) which makes me a little wary.

I have proof for most of these trips including: my UK passport with the entry stamps and a couple of Global Entry receipts (but admittedly not all of them as they would have been shredded), mobile boarding passes. Most of those were submitted is the initial petition (I-129F). Nonetheless, I would assume that a print out of my I-94 departure/arrival record from the CBP website would suffice as the most efficient proof of the trips.

Can't really do anything about it if the form doesn't let you add more. They are mostly checking if you did not overstay on any of your trips or if you violated any terms of your visa during your past visits. Just make a list on a separate sheet and bring it to your interview. If the interviewer asks about it, show the list to him. If he doesn't ask, then that's fine too. Don't volunteer information.
