Art, why do you want to send DS-230 to her? Let her download, sign and mail back to you.

The DS-230 is all about the non-US spouse. So in this case the "Petitioner" would be your wife. That is how I filled in my DS-230 and had no problem.

Get 2 or 3 DS-230 set gets signed by her and mail to you. Just an additional backup in case first form is filled wrong or any IV package RFE (hope not :-)) arises etc.

Thanks! That's what I thought.

Sorry OBX, IMO I think in this case Q39 would be the husband (Petitioner). Yes the form is about the Beneficiary (in this case his wife), but on the form, Q36 would list the wife's name & Q39 would be the Petitioner (husband). In the example forms, although it is an old form, it has the same format (Q26 & Q29). VJ Example Form DS-230

No need to apologize. Your explanation makes sense as does the example form. I interpreted it differently and was fine with my submission. While the example forms are helpful I have found some to be a bit misleading and incomplete.

For the USCIS the US-Citizen = Petitioner and the foreign spouse = befeficiary

For the NVC the US-Citizen = Petitioner and the foreign spouse = beneficiary = applicant

So you need to enter the US-Citizen's address.

If you had no problem with it, and as I am not at that stage yet (coming up though), I would be curious to see what others put. I would sure hate to get a 'stupid' RFE because I didn't put the correct information.

Thanks for your helpful input everybody!! I did a little

research and looks like I should put my USC address there.

After more reading I suspect you are correct and I filled mine in wrong.

I think I was just lucky; NVC either didn't catch it (nor did the consulate at my interview) or they figured things out on their own.
