DS-260 Previous U.S. Travel Information

[VisaBound 0]

Hey people I have a question for you.  I am currently filling out the online DS-260 and am wondering what the appropriate answer should be for two parts of the "Previous US Travel Information" section.

 

Question 1:   This relates to the question that states "Provide information on your last five US visits."  Should we list travel that was undertaken while being an LPR living overseas under a reentry permit?  Long story short my wife had a green card for a while and it was abandoned about a year ago.  We are currently going through the immigration process again and have not traveled into America since the card was returned.  There were several times we traveled to the states prior to getting the green card.  Some with an embassy issued visa but most of them through the visa waiver program.

 

Question 2:  Under the "Previous US Travel Information" section there is question that follows "Have you ever been issued a US Visa?" namely the "Visa classification" question.  How do you classify an IR-1 Visa on the web site?  There is no definitive match.  I have chosen "OTHER- Immigrant Visa".  What would be the appropriate choice for a US Citizen married to a foreign national having previously obtained an IR-1 visa?  

 

Any insights into the best course of action would be would very much be appreciated.  Thanks for the effort and the time.

Update:  After contacting the NVC Consular Section U.S. Embassy Seoul this is the response that I got.

 

Dear Visa Applicant: 

Thank you for your inquiry. 
1. Please enter your last five US visits regardless of your entry status. 
2. IR1 is an Immigrant visa, you may choose OTHER-Immigrant Visa and enter notes on the remarks block if IR1 visa type is not listed on the drop down list. 

Sincerely,

Basically, they are telling you to read the question carefully, interpret literally and answer accurately.

Correct you are.  Initially I did just that.  I just wanted confirmation that I did indeed make the right choice.  Besides, I had the time and was in no particular rush to make a mistake.  Especially on a form that can't easily be changed once the button is pushed.  As the old saying goes, "Patients is a virtue".  Especially in this game.  Better to get it right the first time then suffer the delays that almost certainly would follow.  That kind of stress is just not productive to a happy life/wife.
