In DS 230 form (Applied for I-130(Approved waiting for NVC system update) for my father, I am us citizen, Country: India/Gujarat)

1> Question 15 , 20, 25 about birth date for spouse, father and mother of immigrant are no longer live and no one in my family know about date of birth. So what should we do? We know dead date for spouse and have dead certificate for question 15 and we know if deceased, year of death. is there any issue keeping blank on question 15, 20, 25 ? or just write date based on other people age difference in family ?

2> Question 30 : I got best guess of places lived but not accurate. Do I need to get police certificate for all places lived ?

3> Question 43B : based on what I understand I have check Yes. But not sure what is for this ?

I appreciate help on this.
