Hi all!

I am in the process of applying for the K3 visa and I am having a bit of trouble with form DS-230 Part I. Everything is pretty straight forward, but the last part, #25, says to list the dates of all previous visits to or residence in the United States. I have done a fair bit of travelling across the border (I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) over the years and I'm just wondering how far back I should be listing? 5 years? 10 years? All my life? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :help:

It asks all your previous visits to the US. If provided space is not enough, then type it on another piece of white paper and mark (continuation of #25) and at the bottom, have your signature.

I have noted in other posts from those living in Canada who have visited the US numourous times over the years due to the close proximity, that they group many of them together. eg. between such and such date 'many day or weekly trips'. You can also use a seperate sheet as an attachment. Note it in the applicable question to direct them to the attachment. On the attachment note the question it refers to. Sign and date it.

Hey,

I am from London, Ontario in Canada. I go across the border all the time so it would be impossible to list all the dates. I just put short frequent visits.

Good luck!

I would just make sure you put the major trips to the United States, like the times you might have visited your SO, don't worry about all the little trips, just say something general about them ..... lump them together

That is what I did and it was fine..... :thumbs:
