I would check the box next to parents and then check the yes box and fill in the date and place. You're going to send a copy of your FS-240 with the I-130, so they can see what it's all about.

Actually, I was going to just send a copy of my US Passport with current visa. That will prove citizenship and that I've been in Thailand long enough to qualify for DCF.

Not problem sending a copy of FS-240, but the instructions said a copy of current passport is enough.

I read about others sending in more than what was asked for.
