Which address to put - DS 260

I am completing the DS 260 (for London DCF spousal visa) and getting myself confused - my husband (USC) is now in the USA to start his job. He is in temporary accom whilst looking at properties for us. For his address in the DS260 should I put that temporary USA address, or a UK address? I have just moved to my parents - so would use their address. So neither of us are at the address we gave when we started this process, does that matter? We haven't given the Embassy change of address details yet as it as only just all happened. I got here yesterday.

Thanks in advance

I have a suggestion or opinion. He lives in the US now. Put that on the forms. It helps with domicile requirement for the I-864 as well. How long will it take to find a place? Either wait for that or if is going to take months, then put the address of the temp place. Change it with USCIS so your greencard gets sent to the new address. For your address, you live at your parent's home. Put it on forms. That updates the embassy. People move during the process. It's okay. You can also update hubby's address at the interview if it is different by then.

I would put the addresses where you are most likely to be physically present and where you are most likely to pick up any essential communications - mailing of Green Card etc - rather than anything temporary.

When you have completed the DS260 ensure you send a letter to the Immigrant Visa Unit at the Embassy containing the completed DS2001 form, a printout of the confirmation page you will get when you have finished the DS260 and a cover letter stating your case number, email address, and date of your medical.

My first letter I sent by first class mail was never received at the Embassy - I had to resend it and mailed it by 'signed for' which arrived the next day. I'd recommend that!

Thanks for help nich nick and ivory boy - things are moving fairly quickly in the states so sounds like it will be worth me waiting a week or so to see if there is a confirmed address there.

Have to say the DS260 pages that I have completed took hours, as unlike the paper form it needed street addresses and postcodes for everywhere you lived since 16... I should have moved around less!

Thanks again for your advice.
