Questions about form Ds11

[new68 23]

 I used the online form filer provided by state.gov. Under "have you used any other names "it had  two separate boxes for "first name" and "last name" online but when I printed it out it just came out as one. Like if my maiden name is Jane Doe... And after marriage is Jane Smith. Do I put Jane Doe in other names used or just doe since Jane has remained the same.The form filer form makes a distinction but the paper form I printed out with the bar code doesn't? Does it really matter either way?

 

 

2. The check I will be using has my and my husband's name since we have a joint account, is that an issue?

 

3.for parents place of birth, we just add the city and country if there both aren't us citizens? 

4.in the instructions it says to have applicant's full name and dob printed on the front of the check? What exactly does that mean? Do I need to write my name on the check? Thanks

You can write these in the MEMO part of the check

Thank you.  The check I have shows my and my husband's name and address in the front because we have a joint account.  Will that be an issue? Should I wait to enter the amount till the appointment since it can vary?

Not an issue. I use joint account checks all the time.

 

You can of course, write a check beforehand and bring checkbook with you if you need to write another one.

Only thing I want to ad (just in case). Do not make any changes with a pen to documents that generate a barcode. They will use the barcode to enter the data and will most likely overlook the changes made in pen.

 

And you are no longer dealing with the USCIS your now dealing with the State Department. They are less picky and are more than happy to take the money regardless of whats name is on the front. (though the USCIS is pretty happy to do that as well)
