Form I-130 Questions

[222halo 0]

Hi, I'm a newcomer here and am still preparing my petition for spousal visa.

I want to say thanks to all the people who put this site together and make it work! It's a real asset!

Now, down to business... My wife is still over seas. We got married there in a municipality by the mayor on Oct 31, 2008. I was going over form I-130 and getting confused about a couple of questions. I think maybe I'm just reading too much into them, but anyways, here goes:

Part C. Q#2. "Address."

Ok, you might normally think I'm a halfwit for asking about this one, but there's an unique circumstance involved. You see, the format on the form for the address is American in nature. However, my wife's address is more lengthy. She has a house number, her street name is simply "street #3," followed by her locality, then her city, then her province (read state). Put simply: American - house#, street, city, state; Phils - house#, street, locality, city, state.

So my question is, should I just add an extra sheet to explain this, or just try to use abbreviations(I still don't think there's enough room)?

If I add an extra sheet, do I need to put some kind of mark on the form to indicate there's additional information on the attached sheet?

-------

Part C. Q#19. "Your relative's address abroad."

For some reason I keep thinking that this could be my wife's current home address since that address is "abroad," but I also think it could be MY current address, even though she has never lived there. These are the only two addresses that could possibly apply since she has never lived or for that matter even traveled outside of the Philippines. What's the correct way to answer this question please?!

-------

Part C. Q#21. "If filing for your husband/wife, give the last address at which you lived together."

We have never lived together, unless you count the 14 days I spent there living at her house while on vacation, but that doesn't seem like the correct answer. I guess I should just put "none," but will that adversely affect my petition?

Thanks in advance for any response!

Ok, maybe I panicked a little there. I simply put the locality on the same line as the street and added "Subdiv." to indicate it's a subdivision. I'm afraid to just let it alone and hope it works, I don't want anything to go wrong because I didn't fill out the form properly.

Thanks again!

When my husband and I were filling up the forms, those forms that has very limited character spaces you can hand written it. That's what we did.
