some ds 260 questions

[cornmayeat 2]

hey,

1) i was filling up the ds 260 form and it asks me to fill up my present address and previous address. I am a student in a foreign country so should i enter my present address as the country i am currently in? (even though i plan on going back to my home country for the interview in a few months?).

2) In the permanent address section, it asks us where we want to live after we arrive in usa and if this address will be used to send the green card. So i have a friend who lives at this address but does he have to be a us citizen? i think he is just a student on some kind of student visa so its not his permanent address. is it okay to use his address? im going to live with him for a first few weeks i think.

3) Social security quetions - "have you ever applied for a social security number?" i have never entered the usa and dont know what ssn does so "no" i guess.

"do you want the Social Security Administration to issue a social security number and a card?"... what do i do here?

"do you authorize to disclosure of information of this form to the department of homeland security, social security administration... and it goes on... ) what should i do here?

thanks

Yes to all (except the obvious no you have not applied for a SSN already...)

You can always change the addresses in the US at interview or at port of entry or even to USCIS thereafter. So don't stress too much about the address or if the person moves, or you move somewhere else.

cool. thanks

so "have you ever applied for a social security number?" i shall enter NO

"do you want the Social Security Administration to issue a social security number and a card?" YES

"do you authorize to disclosure of information of this form to the department of homeland security, social security administration... YES here also yeah?

[SusieQQQ 11,587]

Yes

You will need a SSN. You can't do anything without one, basically. If you check "no" to those last two then all that happens is rather than SSN production being triggered automatically when you enter, you have to go into a Social security office and apply yourself.

Are you a DV applicant??? I have heard that the people who were selected in Diversity Visa Lottery should also present Affidavit of Support form starting this year in most countries. The new regulation states that the United States will not be responsible for any applicants.

While for 2014 applicants only mentioning the person and welcome letter was sufficient, the new 2015 dv applicants will need a IN-STATE Affidavit of Support

I have not heard that we need to complete an Affidavit of Support - can you please provide a link to a government site that states this.

There is nothing in the state gov websites I've seen that says that a required document is an Affidavit of Support - I'd hate for people to be misled into thinking it was compulsory.

Answered in another thread. This is very misleading. It has ALWAYS been a requirement to prove you won't be a public charge, and very few embassies have an AOS as mandatory. Please stop spreading misinformation.
