DS-230 Question regarding previous visits

[Simon and Janet 6]

Hey guys,

I'm filling in the DS-230 to send to the Sydney Consulate.

Question 35 asks me to list all previous visits to the U.S. Next week i'm making another trip and i wondered if that should be included on the form...i know i'll be sending the form to the consulate before this visit, but i'm curious if they check this out and see that i'm either currently in the U.S or at the interview will question me about this visit i'm making and why it wasn't included. Probably not a big deal either way but i just want to know what some of the experts around here think.

Thanks.

The question asks to state all previous visits, not future. I would call the embassy (I know it's very expensive) to confirm this.

If you're using a supplement sheet to list all your previous visits you could list this upcoming trip and word it something like "Will be visiting the U.S. from October (insert date) to (insert date) 2009. At least then you have it listed and you won't have to worry about them questioning you for not writing it down. I don't see the harm in adding it. Have a good trip!

Yep, I agree with you, do it that way
