Hello all,
I wanted to find out how others have dealt with a missing parent when completing their DS 230 form. I never knew my mother as she abandoned me as an infant and I was raised by various family members and family friends. I remember meeting her a bunch of times when I was very young but that was it and there was no relationship at all. I was told she disappeared when I was a teenager (she apparently tended to do that) - no one knows quite where she took off to and with whom and she has been gone since. She has been gone so long, the family generally presumes she is dead - this is just family talk and not an official record by the way. So looking through the form, I am unsure what to write under 'city and country of residence'. Should I write 'unknown' or 'missing' (will they not want proof of an official missing status?) or should I just enter the last city she was known by her family to have been in. Not sure how to handle this one.
Further to that, my mother did not name my father on my birth certificate so I will have a whole bunch of 'unknown' entries on my form. What do you think the implications of that will be?
Thanks in advance for your response.
