Just a quick question......

On the ds230 form, question #25, it asks to list all previous visits to or residence in the usa.

My husband has made so many trips to the US in his lifetime that he cant remember them all. He has never lived in the US, all strictly vacations

Just wondering what the proper way to fill this in.

Thanks in advance !

Cantwait2gethome,

We used the form (of course) and a separate sheet to list all visits - passport stamps can help, but otherwise we did the best we could. :thumbs:

As Canadians don't get passport stamps when they enter the U.S., that's not an option.

I visited the U.S. throughout my whole life too, so we just added an attachment and wrote something like this:

"I visited the U.S. many times since childhood for vacations and shopping. They are too numerous to document separately. All my trips lasted anywhere from several hours to 2 weeks. The states I have visited were Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California and Wisconsin."

That seemed to work and I was never asked for further details.

Good luck.
