Hi guys,

Im visiting the US in early December under the Visa waiver program because my hubby gets back from military service in Afghanistan then!! I know the risks involved but theres really nothing that could get in the way of stopping me from at least trying! ANYWAY.. We are at the point where we have both payed the IV fee at the NVC And i-864 bill.. and have to wait for the hub to get back to sign the forms and then we will be sending both the I-864 and DS-230 off whilst I am visiting in the states. Im just not sure what to put on the DS-230 when it asks for the date and return dates for previous entries into the states... should I include in that response the present entry date (providing I get let through LAX airport)? Or can I just let it be.. (ive already filled in the forms thats all).

Cheers, Nicole

are you saying put a date that you will be leaving the states in the future in a present form ?

i would not put include this trip in this form but maybe someone else has another opinion

Good Luck

Find a job you love to do, and you will never work another day in your life.

Put the truth...the date you entered and maybe an explanation as to when you are exiting.

May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

I just want things to be consistent when I go for my consulate appointment.. Ill think Ill leave it out because I booked my trip for the maximum of three months that the waiver allows, but im expecting my interview back in Sydney to pop up with in that time providing we don't get any RFE'S etc.. So I might leave the states early which makes it difficult to put down an expected leave date.. I think Ill go with Samoray's suggestion about leaving it out haha
