Question about DS-230

[A French Kiss 0]

Hi fellow VJ members

We have not received the NOA2 yet, but are expecting to hopefully at the beginning of August (timeline).

We both are starting to collect all the papers, documents and required items to "speed things along"...

I'm French, so i apologize by advance about my "poor" English..

I have a question concerning the form DS-230. I'm a French military and will leave my job the 08/30/2010.

What i have to write at the question 12 : Your Present Occupation..? Military or NONE?

It bothers me, because between the time we will receive the NOA2 and the time of the interview, my professional situation will change.

Thank you for your input. [/font]

List your occupation as it would be by the time you apply for the visa (i.e. the time you mail the DS-230 to the embassy). If you have left the military then put "unemployed".

Good luck - and your English looks fine to me :-)

Hello French.

Your English is fine!

Option 1: Consider the date which you will sign the form. Enter your true employment status at that date, otherwise it would be "untrue". Also, you can write an addendum to explain the impending change of your status and include it as part of DS-230 submission.

Option 2: Leave question 12 blank until you have to send it in when you get your Packet 3.

Thank you for your responses..

Son i will leave my job, and in the same time, change my adress.

Because i live in a military camp.

Should i change my adress on all the forms too?

or i keep the same adress i typed for the I-129?

In France, the post office can resend all the letters i will receive in my "old" adress to my "new adress"... So, i will receive the packages without change my adress...

I know, it's complicated

It's not complicated - it's almost a mirror of what I did (left job and moved to temporary accommodation while visa was being processed). If you know your new address at the time you apply to the embassy for your visa, then put this address down. On the G325 you have to list all addresses lived at in the past 5 years (I think this is the time span - but need to check). The last one listed will be your present address, and this should match up with the address you put on the DS 230.

I'm very sorry, but i don't understand...

When we sent the first package to obtain the NOA1, we typed my "present adress" on the i-129f and g-325.

Now, once we will receive the NOA2, i will change my adress (and job).. So, i have to put on the DS-230 the new one? right?

Thank you again :-)

Oops - my mistake! Yes, put your new address and job on the DS230. You've already sent the G325. My mind was on my son terrorizing the cat when I replied to you!
