Hi all,

I have tried to find a definitive answer to this question: do I need to fill out a DS230 for both myself and my spouse? so 2 DS-230 forms in total?

I did ready conflicting answers, and the DS230 form is also slightly ambiguously formulated.

I suspect the answer is: Yes you need to send a form for each person. But I would like to be sure.

Thank you.

I had the same question when the immigration office asked my wife to fax her DS-230 to them. The way I understood it on the DS-230 is that we both were supposed to submit a DS-230, however after speaking to the lady in the immigration office, she informed me that only my wife who is the immigrant needs to submit the DS-230. I'm in Manila, Philippines so my advice is to call your local embasy to verify with them. Ask for the immigration department.

The DS-230 is an immigrant visa application form. It is filled out for each family member WHO IS IMMIGRATING. If you're the USC petitioner, you won't need to fill one out since you aren't and are never going to be an immigrant.
