hi D & A,

My case was completed on September 24,yesterday. At last i wont be thingking about my DS230 question #2 and #20. I thought NVC will send an RFE again, but i'm glad i got approved.

Good Luck!

QUOTE (D&A @ Sep 25 2007, 08:48 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yes, Aurea is right on the money on question #2!! I had to verify this as well with NVC and State Dept. THey go by what's on the application/passport and documentations. smile.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDS-230, SENT BACK TO ME
hi,

I had the same problem regarding with DS230 before.I hope i could help u.My Ds230 was returned to me because of #2 and 20.

In # 2. Among the four names that your wife used, what is the name she uses in all of her documents? What is her name in her passport?what is her name when you filed the petition.Since married women in Nicaragua does'nt use their husband's lastname, you should put the name she uses in all her documents like Birth Certificate, Married Certificate, police clearance, etc.



In #20. Since your wife is still living in the same address or place, You should start your date from the time she reached the age of 16 for Example she reached the age of 16 on July 22, 1996. You will put July 22, 1996- Present



To make sure, better call NVC at 603-3340700

Good Luck to you

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWho Got RFE in DS230 or case complete- beneficiary coming frm Philippines?
Hi djturbo.

There are lots of RFE cases here in VJ. In Ness and Keith case. She had an RFE because of #2.And she was asked to put the initials of her maiden name. In my case its different. This really is a case to case basis. As i've posted earlier it depends upon the person reviewing your case. So When you receive your RFE checklist, you have to ask NVC what the missing informations are.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWho Got RFE in DS230 or case complete- beneficiary coming frm Philippines?
Hi djturbo,

Did your wife applied for her passport before she married you? Or she got a passport after you two got married? In my case, it matters when i answered #2 (Other Names used, put maiden name if married). Its very clear right? So I put my maiden name. I got an RFE for this.

The NVC told us(me and my husband both called to ask for clarification) that i should put my married name instead of maiden name. I did not applied any passport when i was single. So it means that if your wife applied for her passport before she married you(indicating on her passport her maiden name), she has to put her maiden name in #2. But if your wife applied for her passport after she married you, she has to put her married name in # 2.

Please always verify all infos with NVC. I think all RFE's depends on the one reviewing your case.

I put my complete married name in #2. No initials. and it was approved.

Have you received an RFE letter from NVC?

QUOTE (djturbo @ Sep 29 2007, 09:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
AUREA Hi,
Now I get it and I thank you very much for clearing it up for me. Just one more thing reminds. On question #2, if my wif's maiden name is "Maria Sanchez Martinez" she will write it there on this space right? Next on the same question by initials, does it mean "Maria S. Martinez" and so I will write right next to her full maiden name right?

HI,

you can put Oct 1996 - Present.

Ok well let me get this right. ON question #20 since my wife has been living at one place all her life and she is now 27, what do I put for the DATE on this question. She was born on Oct-1980 do I write "From... 10-1980, To...09-2007 or something else? Am getting so confuse here so please help me!!!

Hi MikeandLani.

In #20(List of Places you have lived since reaching the age of 16) you have to write the date starting the age of 16. Example, my bday is July 22, 1980.

HERE ARE MY ENTRIES:(I wrote my complete address)
City or Town : xxxx Craig St., Sampaloc
Province : Manila
Country : Philippines
From-To :
JUly 22, 1996 - Present(Notice that i have started with my birthday when i was 16 yrs old. But I think July 1996 would do. I just put the complete date to make sure of my entry).

Actually I have lived four places since i reached the age of 16, above is just a sample.


Please always verify with NVC all the info you read so as not to Risk of having an RFE.
Good Luck!!!

Jayzar, Please explain more of what your talking when you said. "#20 from-to field - because i just put in "since birth" and they wanted me to put in the my birth month on the year i reached 16 yo. The reason is because I think I might need my asawa to re-mail me another Sign Ds-230 with dis new info. helpsmilie.gif

Hi jayzar,

I think N/A in #2 is acceptable since you applied for your first passport after you got married. i read a post here in VJ that says NVC told him to write N/A in # 2. Besides you were not marked red in #2. I dont think that NVC overlooked your N/A in #2. You cannot make 'lusot' easily with NVC. laughing.gif They are very strict with documents and DS30 entries. AS long a you follow the checklist you receive, you're good to go. So dont worry, your case will be completed soon. good.gif good.gif

Aurea, i got my passport when i was married and it shows my full name with two last names, hypenated. It is my first passport. And since i didn't have any idea about this before, i put in N/A in Q#2. Applying your situation to mine since its kinda same, i should have put in my married name since its the first time i got a passort, aight?

guys, i'm waiting for the result of the second DS i sent in.. it's been 9 days already, yet same old response from the automated machine.. (((sigggghhhh))) dead.gif

Hi Ness and Keith,

Count me in.

I've got an RFE because of #2 and #20.

In #2(Other names used, put maiden name if married)Of course i put my complete maiden name. NVC said it was wrong. Since i applied for my first passport(in my entire life biggrin.gif ) after I got married, i have to write my married name in #20 instead of maiden name. If you have applied a passport before you got married(indicating your maiden name on your passport) you have to put your maiden name not your married name. Confusing right?

In #20, I had a gap where I live since reaching the age of 16. I was only thingking that when i entered college, i was 16. But sad to say, i was 17 when i was in college. sad.gif

i wasnt RFE'D ON #22.there was even a gap on the time i've worked.


NVC sent RFE letter on : August 17, 2007
Sent RFE Response : September 6, 2007
NVC Received my RFE response : September 13, 2007
NVC Case Complete : September 24, 2007
I'm still waiting for my interview and medical schedule. NVC sets schedule every second week of the month. So probably, i'll know my interview date on the second or third week of october. I'm hoping to get a November Schedule.
