DS-230 Questoins

[phirephly 0]

We're working on our DS-230 so that it's all ready to go and I ran into a few questions.

For an attachmnt, do we just use the same format as the petition? Put the form and full name at the top, then label the questions, etc... or for the DS-230 is there a different way to go at that (since it's for different people)?

When it says "Location" (employment and education), are they just looking for maybe city, state/province, and country? Judging by the tiny spaces, it doesn't seem that they're really expecting street addresses.

Should this (and the 864 and the 3032) be two-hole punched like the original petitions were? They all end up together, don't they?

Thanks!

For an attachment I used the headings. Also the case number written clearly in top right hand corner. This should be done with all documents.

For location I put town, state, country.

I didn't hole punch my DS-230 part 1, just sent as is along with photocopy of biographics pages of passport. As for the I-864, the instructions state to staple the pages together.

phirephly If your doing CR-1 and going through the NVC they will tell you what you need and when you need it. Sometimes if you send things in together at the NVC it can cause a delay.

Thanks aussie. always there, huh?

Jennieh - don't worry, I'm not going to send things before they're requested... I just want to have the paperwork ready to go so I can have a same-day turnaround when I do get the request. I'm not a patient sort of person! haha.

Tagging on, if I may... Given that for the residences, all it wants is city/town, etc... My wife lived at two different residences in the same city in a row. This seems silly to ask, but should I put two consecutive lines with the same info except for from/to dates (so it's clear they were two separate residences), or should they just all be combined into one line (in the case this is just a checklist for the police reports, it would be easier for them)? I can kinda see it bending both ways and I'm generally lucky enough to pick the wrong one Thanks!

I included mine together when they were in same town and the timeframe accordingly to cover that entire period. Just don't leave any gaps in any time frames. The first 'from' date with be the next lines 'to' date, and so on.
