DS-230 Question 33

[floridadave 195]

My finacee is preparing her DS-230. 2 questions on #33.

Does anyone have any idea if these 2 listed below are indeed Professional Associations in China? If so, they should be listed in Q. 33, yes, no?

1. 华护理学会 (Chinese Nursing Academic society)

2. 国红十字会 (Country Red Cross)

She has membership letters from those two. Do they need to be turned in with DS-230, translated, notarized?

Aslo, Q.33 says to List below ALL educational institutions attended. She want to list ONLY the nurse school she graduated from. I think it means ALL schools from kindergarten through her nurse school. Who is correct, me or her? Our cultures are different so that is why I call on your expertise. What is GUZ IV looking for here?

Thanks.

high school to current is sufficient.

what they're really looking for, truly, is CCP membership, or membership in another organization that is requiring CCP membership, as well.

If she's never been involved with CCP, she should be fine.

she's a nurse, so she'll have other 'stuff' that a factory worker prolly won't have, so she'll need to prep a resume, IMO.

O.K., I already know she is not in the CCP, never was. So then I will tell her to NOT list any Professional Associations, and also have her put her High School(s) on the form. Thanks very much.

hmmm

i meant

high school + college

then - if these professional organizations are NOT affiliated with the CCP,

then she's very safe to list them.

I'm not suggesting to lie, or to omit, ya?

Yes, understood. She says she will include these 2 organizations on form and take the membership cards/letter/whatever to the interview. She is not too worried about it, but if I had not brought up the subject, she would have left them blank. Anyway, problem solved. Thanks again.
