Hi guys, we need your assistance with form DS-230, I used to work for the airlines, and I have a lot of entry stamps to the USA. I just recently have my new passport, but I still have my old one when I travel cause the Visa is there. On the form is asking me to put my entries to the USA, I mean OMG, there are so many of them, what should I do, how do I present that to the NVC when I fill out the DS-230, any suggestions?

Please let us know, I am going crazy here

thanks

God bless all of you

You could probably attach a sheet explaining why there are so many entries. Just attach separate sheets of paper for the extra space that you need (as well on write the explanation on your extra sheet of paper).

First, be sure to include copies of every page of ALL passports you have ever had. Make high quality color copies. Then list what you can remember. If you can't read dates, you can probably just list a month and year. Also, if you have any frequent flyer accounts or maybe even in email, you may be able to track down some more information. Good luck!

I would note on the DS 230 the entries your sure of that fit, then refer to a separate sheet where you explain why there are far too many entries to remember or list. They will understand. This is quite common with frequent travelers or border town folks. Not the Consulate's first rodeo.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...

Thank you all for your wise advise, now I know what to do, I will ask for a letter from the airline stating that I worked x amount of years with them, in that way they can see that I was flying back and forth between the US and Costa Rica, I think that will work. Thanks guys.

God bless you all
