Do you think.....

It matters when filling out the biographical sheet if there are a few things you don't know or don't remember the answer to, such as date and place of birth of ex husband, or the exact date when you moved 3 years ago, or the house number or streetname of where you lived a couple of years ago (where they ask for info of the last 5 years), or do you think i can just write whatever i remember or take a guess if Im not sure.

Hi there,

I totally understand what you meant since it took me a "great while" to finish filling the G325-A form.

For the ex-husband date of birth or place of birth, I would suggest NOT to guess or put whatever you think. Just put N/A if you really don't know/don't want to check with your ex. If you confidently put whatever, they can easily check back from his name and date of birth anyway (if they really go and check though). So, just be honest and fill out everything you can. They probably will understand if your got married like 10 years ago (who will remember his date of birth!?)

For your address in the last 5 years, I would suggest you to find back your old bills or letters, to have the right address, and check the postmark date, get a better idea of how long you lived there. (that's what I do)

TRY YOUR BEST!!! DO NOT LIE~

If None, put None, if not available, just put N/A.

I think it depends on what you cannot remember- the exact month you moved is less important than your address for example. It probably also depends on the officer/ embassy you have.

If you cannot remember, I'd suggest adding a note saying so, rather than leaving the part blank or making something up. I had to do this for visits to the USA- I visited so many times on the VWP, between working for international companies and having friends there, that I couldn't remember all visits and couldn't reconstruct all even with old passports, emails etc. So I listed the 25 I could remember (19 of which I remembered where I went to within the USA), and added a note to say there were likely a few more but none over a week in duration. This seemed to be accepted- it was never brought up in the interview anyways. But then, I did DCF via Ireland, which is an easy consulate compared to, say, China or Vietnam.
