DS-230 for IR1

[karina 0]

Hi everyone,

We are getting in the process of filling out the DS-230 for my husband (Canadian). I just wanted to confirm that

1) we need to fill out both Part I (and signed) & Part II, but leave Part II unsigned.

2) Do we need to submit original copies of the stuff mentioned in the instruction sheet to NVC? (Such as police certificate, marriage certificate, birth certificate, copied passport bio page etc)

3) For the part about your previous travel dates to US, my husband was on F-1 visa, and he traveled in and out of the US during the time he had his F-1 visa. He often drove and did not have the exact days of his travels. Do you think it's okay to not put down the exact dates? What's a good language to write down...?

4) Please let me know if I am missing other stuff that pertains to Canadians (Montreal Embassy)

Grateful for your help!

yes , you need to submit originals and things like your marriage cert, birth cert will be returned at the interview.

most people put notations such as " many visits between xxxx and xxxx for pleasure/business" or tosss in some dates you know and add "other various visits" . I dont think theyre all that picky about it at the consulate as its not uncommon for can/ams to have many cross border visits throughout a lifetime.

Good Luck
