joelsosa 2 Posted August 19, 2012 What do we write for question #9 "Country of Residence" Do we write mexico or U.S. or what do we write? Also for question #13 "initial date entry into the U.S." What do i write if i only remember the Month and year, but not the exact date? Would really appreciate it if you could answer my question, thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would really appreciate it if you could answer my question, thanks in advance. For the question of Country of Residence, it would be United States. For Country of Citizenship, it would be the country you were born. #13 You have to give the closest estimate of your date of entry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joelsosa 2 Posted August 19, 2012 Thanks a lot for your help! So would be okay for me to write 01/ n/a /1999 or should i write Jan 1999? as i only know the month and date and not the exact date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rawf 336 Posted August 19, 2012 Do you have any family member to ask for an estimate. It asks to put Month/Day/Year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joelsosa 2 Posted August 19, 2012 Yeah, but its been like 14-15 years since 1999 and we only remember the Month/Year and not the exact day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joelsosa 2 Posted August 20, 2012 What if i just put a day? Like jan 22, 1998 since i dont remember the exact date? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pswa83 302 Posted August 20, 2012 as long as you have the month and year, it should be ok. it says on the instructions to fill it in to the best of your ability. when filling out mine, i put that i entered 7 days after i was born because that is what i have always been told. so the day isnt really important but if you and/or your family can try and remember something important happening around that time to better guess the day. if not, you can always put something in the middle of the month, like the 17th or 18th. 1 Rawf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joelsosa 2 Posted August 20, 2012 My mother said it was a saturday either the 17th or 24th, since i got my visa the Jan 12, 1998. I put 01/17/1998 on the application, i guessed the date kind of, do you think there will be a problem with that? Like what if they say it was the 24th, and say im lying and deny my work permit? or do you think there wont be a problem since it says to the best of your ability?

JoseG 383 Posted August 20, 2012 If you think it was the 24th, put the 24th. I'm guessing it would be better to put a later time rather than an earlier one since it's only a 7 day difference. Have you checked your passport? On mine it has a red stamp with the date of entry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joelsosa 2 Posted August 21, 2012 Yes the problem is my passport expired in 2001, so i had to get a new one. You're right about it being better to put a later date, rather than an earlier date. I had put the 17th, but i think i will change it to the 24th, better to be safe than sorry. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
