Hi all!

 

I am applying for the spouse visa to finally be with my wife in the United States and right now we are at the NVC stage and specifically at the part where I am filling the DS-260.

 

My question is in regards with the "Have you attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above? "

 

At this part I have to add institutions that I have dropped out or just the ones I have successfully finished?

Basically apart from high school I have attended 3 more institutions from which I have successfully completed one of them while the rest I dropped out. Can I even add them considering I don't have the dates of the ones I have dropped out?

 

Thank you for any help

The questions are literal.

 

It doesn't ask for schools that you successfully finished.  It asks for secondary schools that you attended.  You need to list all those schools that you attended.  Give approximate dates.

I understand. 

Ok for a start date I can add one as close as I can remember. But what about end date?

Will it be ok if I write that I dropped out of these in one of the spaces or is it something that they may ask me during the interview part?

 

Thank you for any help, that part is kinda intimidating.

Your end date is the date you stopped attending the school, completed or not

Thanks I will do just that then and add the date I remember I stopped attending.

Is it a good idea to write something in the empty boxes they have like "Not completed", or it is just overkill and if they need to know they will ask during the interview?
