DS260 Additional Work/Education/Training Information

[C and M 6]

The question asks if you have been outside the country/region for the last 5 years. If I select yes, I cannot pick the US as the country. Therefore, is "no" the answer I should put, since my spouse has not been to any other country besides the US in the last 5 years? As always, thanks for your help.

Is US the country for her present address/employment/education?

[C and M 6]

No, she is currently in her home country, and all employment and education information pertains to her home country. I take it the answer is “no?”

It sounds like maybe that question is asking if she has been outside of the US for the last 5 years, in which case the answer would be yes, and her home country would be the country you pick for the answer...?

Just what it sounds like to me but I really hope someone else can answer this for you with a more definite answer.

I was wondering that myself. She has never lived outside of her home country, and the only time that we have been to US was back in 2015. And that's the only time she has been outside of her home country in the last 5 years. So... for those who know the answer, would I select Japan? That just seems like an oddly phrased question to want that information.

I would guess that would be the correct answer. If no one gives a more definite answer here, maybe try to get in touch with someone who can answer that question, maybe calling someone from the embassy? Just to be safe

Hello! I am in a very similar situation with my parent's visa application. What did you end up choosing for this question? Thanks so much for the help!
