DS-260: Previous Nationality Question

[TatevQA 0]

Hello,

 

I am currently filing a DS-260 form for family-based immigration and having a bit of a trouble with one of the questions: "Do you hold or have you held any nationality other than the one you have indicated above?"

 

The applicant was born in Armenia under the USSR. He had a Soviet passport. In the 90s he moved to Russia and updated to a Russian passport. No citizenship was ever renounced. Should this previous Soviet citizenship be noted in the answer? If so, what country? I am not sure if this Soviet citizenship should be "translated" into Russian or Armenian one.

 

Would really love to hear some feedback and experience.

 

Thank you!

if the online form lets you enter Soviet Union or USSR I think it should be entered.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately DS-260 online form only has the current country list. So I put in Armenia - the current name of the country that corresponds the location where my parents were born and raised. There is a little tip box that was helpful in identifying the right answer.

Armenia it is.  At the interview remind the CO it was the USSR.  It will be amusing if the CO has heard of the USSR.
