I noticed our background check had changed to "in progress" once we were contacted about an interview date. However, our interview date is soooo far ahead of us, maybe typically they would do the background check and then the invite would come closer to the actual interview time?

Hi everyone,

How you all doing?

I have a question about schedule A
I have overlapping information In my form A, in the personal history section, such as

2013 01 to 2016 - 06 : College

But I traveled alot in that time for vacation, like during summer/ spring/ winter break

How do I put both in? Or more like do I have to put the travel history in?

I've been trying to figure out how to record this timeline since so long:(
(thank you for your time) :)

I've been trying to figure out how to record this timeline since so long:(
(thank you for your time) :)
I would just record that chunk of time as being in college... Unless you also worked? Does it allow you to use the same dates? ie:

2013 01 to 2016 06 - College
2013 06 to 2013 08 - Employed
2014 06 to 2014 08 - Employed

Travel history probably isn't necessary, unless it was to travel to visit whomever you are sponsoring. In that case, is there not another place in the application to make mention of these dates? (Sorry! I used the old application and has been such a long time since I filled it out)
