Freaked out about answer on DS-230 that I gave...

[Goldfinger 4]

I submitted my DS-230 recently, and I'm kind of freaking out about an answer I put on it.

It was under the "List times you have visited the U.S." section. Honestly, this is a horrible question for me, inasmuch as I have relatives (aunt and uncle) in the United States, and so my family has gone ever since I was an actual baby. I am now 27, and recounting each yearly excursion is simply outside of my scope.

I phoned a lady at the National Visa Center to ask her about this, and she merely said "Just list any major visits you've made. They aren't talking about week long or two-week long excursions, but for months at a time." I, then, did that. I listed when I first visited my Fiance for three months, and then when I went to school in my fiance's hometown for four months.

However, I forgot that before I was on my student exchange, I spent about a month and a half there (if even.) I have a stamp in my passport as to when I entered, but no exit date. Will this be a problem? I'm not trying to commit some perjury, but just followed what the lady at the NVC told me.

is this worth concerning myself over?

[ricnally 258]

No.

[Goldfinger 4]

No.

*Sighs Relief.*

Well, you get points for being succinct.

Why not though?

Honestly, they never even questioned that section for me and I was kind of in the same situation as I live very close to the border, it's cheaper to shop. I have been there many many times. Nothing to concern yourself over.

Because they're totally used to Canadians who've been to the US a million times over their lifetime and can't remember when or for how long.

my husband had same issue, he visited / stayed in US many many times.

they told us to put the main, most recent visits and dont worry about entering all.

we added an addendum with visits i believe.

they can ask u at the interview if they want more details.

good luck
