On question 24 for the DS-230, do they want information on military service for the United States or for the beneficiary's country?

The Ds-230 is the immigration application for the beneficiary, wherever he-she lived, that includes the military info if it's the case.

CR-1, VT- Canada

I-130:

25 Aug 06 - Sent I-130 (a Friday)

28 Aug 06 - NOA1 & Certif. receipt returned ( a Monday) Day 1

29 Aug 06 - USCIS cashes check

30 Aug 06 - check cleared & 1ST TOUCH.

01 Sept 06 - NOA1 recvd by Mail

09 Sept 06 - 2ND TOUCH (a Saturday)

09 Mai 07 - NOA2 (2 e-mails)

Note: were told the long delay due to huge backlog and internal changes in VT

NVC :

04-June-07 - NVC generates DS-3032 & AOS bill

12-June-07 - AOS Bill payment sent/ alien receives DS-3032 form (by mail, dated 4th June)

13-June-07 - Alien sends back completed DS-3032 (by mail)/ rcvd 19th of June approx.

To mid July-07 - I-864 form sent completed and IV fee bill

19-July-07 NVC rcv I-864 form; mail signature rcvd.

22-Aug-07 Ds-230 with documents sent to NVC.

20-Sep - 07 Alien sends NVC Missing document. NVC receives it the 25th.

05-Oct - 07 NVC completed.

16-Jan - 08 Interview, 3 questions asked, visa approved same day, received 1week later approx.

Note: delay due to internal delay, missing document (not rfe) and self procrastination of understanding some abstract terms. C Post not at all reliable (delivery duration, delivery with signature (did not deliver personnaly), and delivery of interview letter rcvd after the interview).

In USA:

01-03-08 POE Entry in USA

...-03-08 2 Welcome in America letters and green card received.

It means the beneficiary's own foriegn country or military service in their country's army or military; does not mean USA military service.

The USC doesn't apply for a visa. The foreigner does. So, the DS 230 is filled out from the perspective of the foreigner only. They are asking about the foreigner's military service. Generally one would only serve in the military of their own country but that isn't always the case. For instance a citizen of Ukraine may well have served in the military of the USSR. If they have any military service, it should be stated.

The DS-230 is for the beneficiary/applicant to fill out. NOT THE PETITIONER (US Citizen). So of course, the question is directed to the person who needs the visa.
