Line #30 on DS-230

[martinbr 1]

(30. List below all places you have lived for at least six months since reaching the age of 16, including places in your country of nationality. )

Can someone clear this up for me? I got a reject for my wife's ds-230 application on line 30. I misunderstood the question. My wife has lived in two places in the same province since she reached the age of 16 like they want on the application.

Do you put the most current address first from time to present, or the earliest? So my wife was born in 1975. I was told to add 16 years on that and start from the year 1991 wherever she resided. Does this make sense? Anyone had trouble with this? I guess this is a common error, because the person at the NVC mentioned that a lot of people missed this or misunderstood it entirely.

thanks,

Hi Martin,

What do you mean by "you got a reject"? Is it that you are filling the form in the computer and it didn't accept the answer?

question #20 on form ds-230 (i don't get the line 30 part) Yes you have to list those two places your wife (beneficiary) has lived in since she was 16.

the form says to begin with her current address so on the first line you put her current address and below that the adress where she lived before.

good luck!

Yep. Starting from the age of 16 (as you said for your wife this is since 1991) list ALL places when she has lived there for AT LEAST 6 months. The top list is most recent so "XX to present" and following back from there.

If there's not enough space you can add an additional attachment/document. If doing this in hard copy (i.e. not online) make sure you mention what form it's for, what qn you're answering and put her name at the bottom (like a footer) and her case number (she should have one I think by now).

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thats' what I needed to know. Because I have to send this over again by hard mail because my wife has practically no computer experience at all. What I meant by reject was I believe it's called a RFE.

thank you,
