DS230

[Peter&TT 0]

Hello VJ members, I just got this notification for our case (initially filed w/ CSC) "On November 2, 2010, we transferred this case I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN to our TEXAS SERVICE CENTER location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action. Please follow any instructions provided on the notice....". Do anyone experience this before?

Now please help me help my wife fill out DS230.

Q31a. Person(s) named in 14 and 29 who will accompany you to the United States now.

Q31b. Person(s) named in 14 and 29 who will follow you to the United States at a later date.

My plan is to fly back to Vietnam to be with my wife when she has an interview and to accompany her to the U.S. So, where (Q31a or Q31b) should I put my name in?

Q32. In what occupation do you intend to work in the United States?

Can I just put "To be united with my husband"?

Q44. Were you assisted in completing this application?

Should I say YES and put my name/address down?

Also, should I send out Part 1 (signed) AND Part 2 (unsigned) to NVC or just send Part 1?

Thanks

Peter

Q31a. Person(s) named in 14 and 29 who will accompany you to the United States now.

Q31b. Person(s) named in 14 and 29 who will follow you to the United States at a later date.

My plan is to fly back to Vietnam to be with my wife when she has an interview and to accompany her to the U.S. So, where (Q31a or Q31b) should I put my name in?

>>These refer to beneficiaries. For example, if your wife is bringing one kid with her now, this is where you put down the names, i.e. in Q31a. For example, a second child might join you later, then you put this child's name in q31b. Neither of these questions refer to you, the petitioner.

Q32. In what occupation do you intend to work in the United States?

Can I just put "To be united with my husband"?

>>technically, that's not an occupation ;-) although of course, helping a spouse can be :-) if she's not interested in working... you can say "None."

Q44. Were you assisted in completing this application?

Should I say YES and put my name/address down?

>>of course, if you helped her fill out the application, then of course, say YES.

Also, should I send out Part 1 (signed) AND Part 2 (unsigned) to NVC or just send Part 1?

Thanks

>>You send both parts. The signature on part two should be left blank. She signs that at the interview.

>>Hope this helps, KP

Hi KP, regarding 31a & 31b you are partialy right: The person's named in question 14 is me - the petitioner. If it doesn't refer to me, then the questions should only state "Person(s) named in 29 who will accompany you to the United States..." (NOTE: there is no 14)
