Timeline

With the whole visa application, I have started thinking about my address situation and how I have not updated my "Zweitwohnsitze". My "Erstwohnsitz" has stayed the same since birth, since I have been moving quite frequently, spent a lot of time abroad, etc and wanted to be sure that I have one reliable address in Germany.

Now I realized that I have not updated my "Zweitwohnsitz" since 2006, which means it does not correspond to my data in the G-325A...how is everybody else's situation and experience? Are they checking that during the I-129F process (or are they even allowed to check within the German system)?

Moreover, since I always use my main residence as address and mailing address, we put this in the I-129F form, whereas I used my Zweitwohnsitz, where I currently and temporarily live, as current residence on the G-325A...

:bonk:

Was that stupid? But it's the truth...I just hope they are not gonna fuss about it or get confused...Any thoughts? Danke :)

Form I-325a asks for your residence during the past 5 years. As you enter only one address, even if you own a villa in Monaco, a condo in Zürich, and have a 300-ft. yacht waiting at the Cote d'Azur, my guess would be that you entered your "Erstwohnsitz." If you entered your "Zweitwohnsitz" instead, despite the fact that the address of your "Zweitwohnsitz" has changed, for reasons only you know, they won't kill you for it. You may just have to clear that up, once, and if, being asked about it.

Yes, it was probably stupid, but we all do stupid things once in a while. It's part of being human.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
