residency question

I am a little concerned...

If somebody was visiting family in another country for 7 months, do they need to write that as a place they LIVED on DS230 part 1 (number 20)?

They did not put this information on the G-325 when they applied for I-130 at the embassy, but they were approved. Is this going to be a problem?

On the biographic form it just said "residences for last 5 years"

On the Ds230, it says, "all places you have lived for at least 6 months"

I also told the lady at the embassy (when I applied DCF for I130) that I met him when he was staying with family...

Is this going to be a major problem? Are the embassies very concerned with the residences if outside the US?

Yes, you should list it on DS 230 and you should have listed it on G-325A. If they ask you during the interview, just tell them, you inadvertently did not mention it on G-325A.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

Do you think this will cause us a problem?????? The lady had my info in front of her and I TOLD her that I met him in Italy (eventhough it wasn't on the biographic)
