The other fields in the G-325A I wasn't totally sure about at first but I think I ended up doing them correctly - but I just want to make sure - were the fields for Residence Last Five Years.

I live in Ottawa, Ontario but have worked as a LIVE-IN nanny in 3 other cities, two of which are outside of Ontario. One is in Alberta and the other is in Quebec. The one I'm in now is Hamilton, Ontario.

I was only in Alberta for two months, and I am currently in Hamilton for about 2.5 months. As a LIVE-IN nanny. I was in Quebec for 10 months.

I was in the U.S. to visit for longer than two months. But I was just visiting so I don't consider that I had an address there.

How should I fill in these fields? Are the places I worked in Calgary and Toronto considered my residences?

The way I ended up deciding I should do it was to list the places I LIVED and WORKED as a LIVE-IN nanny as my residences, even the ones that were only 2 months. For when I was visiting in the States, I just listed my regular address that I came home to as my residence.

Does this sound right? My fiancé originally thought I just needed to put my address in Ottawa and my address in Quebec because the others, since they were only two months, he thought weren't necessarily my residences. But then he said he wasn't sure how it worked...and I said it would probably confuse USCIS if they see that I say my residence is in Ottawa but that I worked in Alberta, which is the other side of the country!

Help! Thanks

I would list all the addresses you have lived in, even if it was only 2 months. Your visit to the States, I would not count because you only intended to visit, and not actually reside there.
