DS 230 ????

[ZansGirl 0]

#25 of the DS-230 asks: List dates of all previous visits to or residence in the United States. (If never, write "never") Give type of visa status, if known. Give DHS "A" number if any I am in the us at least once a month, if not more....and i always go to the same place, my husbands house...so what do I out there, becasue I cannot be 100% positive of each and every date over the last 2 years....

also #21a is Person(s) named in 14 and 19 who will accompany you to the United States now. well the answer to 14 is my husband who is the usc and 19 are my kids who are grown and not immigrating...so what do i put there?? my husband or N/A

double posting because I am not sure what will be looked at first

There was a debate over this a little while ago. Some people seemed to have put "too numerous to count" or something to that effect... basically since most Canadians live within 100 km of the border, or something like that, I think the CO will understand that we can't necessarily account for all trips to the U.S.

I entered the dates of major trips to the U.S. that I could remember. I also wrote something like "Numerous additional trips for shopping or concerts, not exceeding 2-3 days each."

I think they're basically looking for admission of an overstay, so being honest that you travel frequently should not pose a problem for you.

I'm too tired to look at your second question. I'm going to bed. Hopefully there is another nightowl around here.

For #25, i believe it only ask for the month & year. I visit my husband every week. So I put 03-2009, 02-2009, 01-2009. I didnt have any problem with it and they booked me an interview.

As for #21 i put none or n/a. He is not accompanying me so I'm not sure if that is right or wrong answer but that question was confusing so I just put an answer which I thought was correct.

You must be very tired eyoa... I don't believe there has ever been a debate over this issue. And most Candians live within 100 km of the border?? Ahem...don't think so!

OP...put down the ones you remember of course. TRY and be specific as possible. Just putting down that you don't remember, or too numerous to mention is just laziness. You could in addition to what you put down, put something about the numerous additional trips as stated above.

You don't put anyone accompanying you if your kid(s) aren't coming. They could care less about whether your USC spouse/fiance is arriving with you.

Agree with Carla

For question 21a, you would only list your Husband there if, for example, you were both living in Canada now - therefore he would be 'accompanying' you - but that's not the case here.

Like the others said, for question 25 I just listed all the trips I could honestly remember taking and put a note at the end briefly explaining that I live in a border town and have crossed frequently since childhood (on an attached sheet). Others have wrote things like, "frequent trips from 1995-present" and had no problems but I wasn't really comfortable doing that... like carla said, it just seems lazy.

I listed all the major trips I remembered and then I put " numerous day trips between such and such a date" (or something along those lines)

Yes, I was tired. It's 100 miles, not kilometers

I don't know how accurate that is, I just remember learning it in school.
