Hi all.. As I am sitting here, looking at my DS 230, I am starting to second guess myself. Please assist in figuring this out!

1. Would you just list the former visas held... or each and every time a person came to visit home and back (a few weeks vacation, etc)?

2. "A" number = alien registration #, right?

Also, I think I am going crazy. I kept reading the instructions.. do you just need one photocopy of your bio passport page and that's that - not of your family members' or anything if you're applying alone? I know, crazy question..

Any help is much appreciated.. would hate to get an RFE! Thanks, guys.

If you look at question 25 it says to state ALL previous visits to the United States.

yes the A number is alien registration number.

Hi,

The A number is the Alien Registration Number, you many not have one unless you have previously resided in the USA.

Regarding the passport, not all passports have a similar design to the US passport, so in our case we had to send a few pages, since the Guyana passport had been renewed, name changed due to marriage, and updated photographs.

Regards

Why would you put your new A# down for past visits. Assuming you didn't have a A# before this application, shouldn't you put "NONE".
