Should we mention military if it was 20 years ago in the personal history? Or only if it was in the last 10 years? In previous work visa we had to mention that, even it was out of 10 years.
Thank you guys.

Section 8 (personal history) and 12 (Addresses) are the only sections that specify "past 10 years." The other sections, including section 11 (military service) do not have that instruction, so it means any service, ever.

Ok, thank you so much. You are absolutely right, I checked again. It says 'any time' But there are a lot of questions, name of the military branch, commanding officer... My husband really do not remember of these. Can I leave them empty?
I appreciate for your help. Thank you so much.

LOL, no. Your husband does not remember if he served in the army or navy or air force (or whichever branches are relevant for his country)? And I've never met anyone who served that did not remember their CO... it would be a good idea to try to get a copy of his discharge papers, if possible.

He does not remember for the number of the branch and the name of the commanding officer only, other questions are answered, fortunately.Yes, we have to find these out somehow... Thanks for your advice.
