Hi VJ,

On the DS-230, question 25 asks to list all previous visits to the US. As a Canadian, I have visited the US countless times and only remember the most recent ones. How do I go about answering this question?

Thanks for you help.

Hi, I just asked this question a few days ago. The general response was to list the most recent ones, using an extra page if you have to.

I listed the four times that pertain to this particular visa.

Also, on the type of visa column, just put "N/A" since we don't technically require a visa to visit.
