DS 230 questions....advice please
Hi,
Thanks in advance for any help and advice given.
My wife(USC) and myself(UKC) currently have an approved I- 130 visa in progress. I am currently in the USA visiting my wife for 90days on the VWP. We have just received the form DS 230 from NVC,and are currently trying to fill it out. We have a couple of questions:
On question #20 it asks for : List all places you have lived for at least six months. My problem is on at one address i lived at many years ago i cannot remember the house number. What should i write?
On question # 25 it asks for:List dates of all previous visits/residence in the USA. Problem is i have all the date stamps of previous entries, but cannot remember accurately all the dates i`ve exited the USA. Also as i`m in the US at present and intend to remain here for the next 90 days how can i give a date at which i exited on the frm? Any advice please would be greatly appreciated.

List the dates to the best of your knowledge. And since you haven't left the USA yet on this trip, I would say you can't list this particular trip. It says to list "previous" visits. This visit is a current one.

Should i/we mention my current trip to the USA on another piece of paper attached to the DS230 form or not mention it at all? Just concerned about not being honest with them.
Thanks

By the way, my husband didn't know some of the information on his forms, such as the address of his high school, his parents' birthdates, etc. We put the city and country for the school address, and just put "approximately 1940" for the birthdates. It was all acceptable.

I think we`ll just put on another piece of paper to indicate i`m currently in the US at the DS 230 form was submitted. Just think honestly is the best policy with US immigration. And will go ahead and put the best approx dates of my previous exits from the US.
Thanks Rene and ian - mstm
