DS-230: not enough space for answers?

[mjrussell 2]

Hi, I've gleaned a lot of great info from the discussions here, but something's come up as I was helping my wife with her DS-320. We're typing our responses into the PDF (instead of printing and handwriting it), but a couple of the fields are too small. For example, in education, one of the institutes that we need to put has to go on four lines to get the whole name to fit. We can get all the information onto the form, but I wonder if it's going to be a problem wrapping the names like that. We had to do the same with her company name as well in the Employment section.

Anyone else have to do that? Is there a better way, or way to indicate that the four lines are all part of the name for the same company/school?

Thanks!

You can handwriting it if it won't fit. Just make it sure that it readable. I did that on my I-130, a couple of fields there won't fit and I just wrote it and it was fine...

I just attached a list with a summary when the boxes were too small.

The instructions state that you can attach a sheet and provide the details in that attached sheet, if the space provided is not sufficient. So go ahead and attach the details that don't fit in the space provided and it is perfect and accepted.

Thanks for the info, I remember now seeing a reference somewhere to attaching additional pages. So in the area on the official form, I assume I just put something like "See attached reference" or something like that? I also have a cover letter with a list of the enclosed documents, I'll be sure to mention it on there as well.

Perfect plan. Go ahead.
