unknown date of birth for father on ds-230

[yoke 2]

hello on the ds-230 #16 (date of birth for father) and current address, well my father in law passed away in 2004 and the only thing i have for him is the death cert. i do not have birth cert (cuz back in the days i guess he figured he didnt need one) so what do i put in just the year of death? or N/A or None...cuz i would hate to get a RFE on that..

Deceased field must be yes and enter date of death.

You need to enter date of birth too, if not known fill in an approximate date over there. Blank or NONE would trigger RFE. Nobody at interview is going to ask parents' birth certificates...

I put unkown in the blank for fathers DOB becuase we dont know my husbands fathers DOB and no one can remember and we dont kow where he is. So I guess we will get an RFE. =( ####### that sucks.

UNKNOWN is a truthful answer, so you will not get RFE.

I was going to suggest to put down "UNKNOWN" since you really don't know when he was born. It's a legit unswer.

ya i think i will put unknown as well..and how about the present address? just put none or something

-Fyi- i put N/A on her 325a...for father's dob...(lol dont know what i was thinking) thanks god no RFE from USCIS

I put N/A for both my father and my husband's father's addresses since they're both deceased.

We put unknown in ours. We aren't even sure when he died. We just put unknown there too. It went through with no problems.

I thought that they were asking for the beneficiary's parents info? I put my parents details and everything was fine. I did not remember the exact date my dad was born but i knew the month, so I looked on my birth certificate which shows how old my dad was when I was born, I then minus his year of birth from 2007. I guessed the date of the month because he is deceased and I could not remember.

good luck!
