Just doing a dry run through the DS-160 in prep for Packet 3 to arrive.

On the Travel Information Page, about half way through it asks about Application Receipt/Petition Number.

Based on the letter my US Fiancee received from State Department, should I use the INS Receipt Number as listed on that form

OR the MTL case number, also listed on that form.

The wording leads me to believe it's the INS Receipt number and not the MTL case number? Any thots?

See the screen shot below.

Also, it asks if I have plans and how long it is I plan to stay...

I put 50 years - does that make sense?

Let me know if you can.

Thanks

It's the Montreal Case # they're asking for... I put 50 years too on mine since there's no choice of "permanently"....I was gonna go for 60 or 70 years but I figured if I add my age now plus the years I intend to live in U.S...I'll be dead by then.. :lol:

Yup, I put my MTL # as well...I'm already down here on my K-1 (my visa was approved 3 weeks ago), so it's safe to say it was right :)

I put 75 years, although it's probably an exageration...I dont think they care, it's just so that they know you plan on stickin around for awhile :)

Thanks for the feedback.

I'd put 70 years, but at my age, even 50 years to stay might be pushing it.

And thanks for clarifying the petition number as well.

I'm a huge fan of all you VJ contributors.
