home address vs present address vs residence confusion

Hello all,

situation (some are familiar with it now):

-Filled for fiance while she was on student visa in the UK

-Student visa expired while waiting for approval, she left back to Nigeria, did not over stay

-Applied for visiting visa and was approved to go to the UK for 2 years

-Asked embassy if it was ok for her to continue filling in the UK since transferring to Nigeria would take forever....they replied for her to send her docs in and do her medical and continue

-Now we are filling out the forms and on the DS156 it asks for HOME address, should that be her address in Nigeria?

-The DS230 asks for present address, i'm thinking that is her Uk address as she is back there now to mail back the paper work and prepare for her interview....

main question: The address i filled for her at while she was in the UK on student visa is the same address she is back at now with her visiting visa(relatives address)....same place they mailed her Packet 3 to (which has not arrived yet since it was said to be mailed on the 17th of march), can i put her present and home address as the UK address? if i do this would the embassy say we put false information on the application?

or

Should we put the UK address for present address and the Nigerian address for Home address and attach a letter explain why they both have different addresses, stating we are not sure which address they did want. I hear they mail the passport info to the address in the DS156..... any ideas? or put UK address in both forms and attach a letter that we are not sure which they request but her other address is the Nigerian address, so they don't think we are trying to hide anything.

thanks.

By putting both addresses as the UK one, she isn't hiding anything. She's clearly lived in the UK for a while now, and intends to continue to do so for some time given that her visitor's visa is for 2 years...she obviously currently considers the UK 'home'.

You are over thinking it :lol:

Just put down the UK address.

The UK address would be fine. I live away for university, and on the forms, put my parent's address, as that's my "permanent address" and on the forms that required CURRENT residence, I put my school address. All the CO asked me at the interview was if I was currently living at my parent's house, and I confirmed no, that was just my permanent address, but I was still living where I had stated. My fiance even put my parent's address on the i-134. It really was not a big deal.

Good luck!
