ALL children.

Ok, so I do fill this part in for my son as well.

Do I have to fill in another ds-230 part i on behalf of my year old son, eventhough he doesn't need a visa as he has dual citizenship. I'm sorry I am confused.

[sineadx 1]

I have searched everywhere for a answer to this, but on one thread it says one thing and another on different thread.

I am filling out DS-230 part i for myself (K1 Visa) and on question 29 it says list all children, their address etc, well my son has dual citizenship so was told on one thread this doesn't need to be filled out with his name, but another says I do, what is right?

Also do I need to fill out another ds-230 part i on behalf of my son, even if he has dual citizenship, won't he already be good to go right?

Any help appreciated thanks

Your son does not need a visa, so no forms for him.

List all children means list them. They asked your parent's names too and they aren't immigrating with you. This is on the London Embassy website in the FAQ's http://london.usembassy.gov/faq-imm-proc.html#iv054

My child is not immigrating with me do I still have to list his or her details on the biographic data form OF-230-I?

You are required to enter the details of every child under the age of 21, including a stepchild from a marriage that was entered into while the child was under the age of 18.

(Note: OF-230-I is the old name for DS-230, Part 1)

Thank you, that's a good clear answer.

I have a bit more of trickier question, once i know this, i am pretty much sorted with the forms.

On this form i have listed my employment for the last ten years, as stated. On the other form though (I believe it's the DS-157), I have to put contacts of my supervisors of my last 2 employers. Well from 2008 to the beginning of 2011 I have had several temp jobs through a recruitment agency,. I have done different roles during this time but through the same employer. As you can imagine, i have had so many supervisors, i have a contact for my last role so thats fine, but who would i put before that? Another supervisor within the same employer or would i have to get another contact with my last employer before i started the agency work? It's very confusing and i don't know what to put. Also do i need to put the contact number of the recruitment agency?

Did the temp agency pay you? If the Temp Agency did pay you, I would think that you would put them as your employer because you technically worked for them.

Yes i was paid through the agency, but my employer was Nationwide, thats where i was working.

You ultimately have to give the best answer your logic can come up with. First off, I've never known an interviewer in London to discuss the job supervisor . Nor have I known anybody to report their employer was called. So it's not a hugely critical question if you were ranking the importance toward getting a visa.

My logic would say I was hired by XYZ agency. Somebody there places me in temp jobs. XYZ pays my salary. XYZ is responsible for my performance. If Nationwide doesn't like me, they call XYZ to say "deal with her and send me somebody else". XYZ would be the one to terminate me. If London embassy wanted to know anything about my work, salary, etc, they could get everything from XYZ.

If you want to make a long list of every assignment, you certainly can add a sheet at the back of the form and go hunt down each supervisors name.

Two ideas, no right or wrong way to do it really. Pick the one that you feel most comfortable with. The only possible discussion of work you will have at London may be (in a chatty conversation)--"so what kind of work do you do in the UK? Do you think you will look for the same kind of work in the US?

By the way, have you found the UK forum on VJ yet? It's a really good place to learn and ask about London specific procedures, which are different from other consulates.

Thank you, Nich-Nick. I will check out the UK forum.

I have got in touch with the Recruitment Agency and they will help me with this, so I am happy now.

While I am talking about the packet 3 forms. On the DS-157 form, where it asks on question 17 about listing all the educational institutes I attended apart from elementary school, this would be everything after secondary school as elementary school is the American equivalent to secondary school, is this correct? On question 8, where it asks for the full name, address and contact number of a contact or organization in the USA, this would be my fiance who is living currently in States, I assume.
