Hi,

I am filling out DS-230 for my father. His actual mother died in 1930's and now he has step mother who is alive. The step mother married the biological father in 1945.

In DS 230, I need to fill out mother and father's info. Should I enter the biological mom's name in there (who expired long time back) or should I fill in step mother's info.

Also since my father was born in India and he has no formal birth certificate, we need to submit an affidavit (stating DOB ) from a close relative, which in this case should be the step mother I believe. In that affidavit should we specifically state the she is the step mother and according to her the DOB is such and such. I am confused, b/c it may be questioned that if she is a step mother then how did she knew the date/time of her step son from last marriage. Or should I use an affidavit from an elder relative like an uncle.

Thanks and regards
