I myself haven't gotten to that stage yet, since my petition got recalled dude to IMBRA. But it seems that you should be as thorough as possible when answering questions. If you need to answer whether's you've been to the U.S. before, I'd give them dates and visa stamps to support such answers, if possible.

I don't know about question #37 - forgive me my ignorance, but where did you take these questions from? If you show them to us, maybe we'll be of more assistance.

Karol,

You should answer the questions that are asked, with truthful, complete yet concise, answers.

"On different ocasions" is not a sufficient answer to 29 When - be as specific as possible even if it's only month and year.

Well, tha ting is that he was issued the visa in 1989 so I dont think he remembers exact dates,, not even the year .... he didnt visit the US that often though

Does he still have his old passports? I don't know whether he's allowed to keep the old passport when he gets new ones. If so, he could try and find them.

As for the question regarding illegal relatives in the U.S., oh my. I understand why you would want to check 'no' in all those boxes. However, I'd have to agree with Yodrak. The best way to go is to give honest answers.

I advice on telling the truth. I had an overstaying family member when I applied for my visa and I dint lie about it. It wasnt even asked on my interview day and I passed w/o problems
