G-325A form - applicant's residence

[sevilla1926 0]

Hey guys,

Getting everything ready for the I-130 form and we are filling out the G-325A forms at the moment. The background information is that I live with my wife (we got married in Spain) and we are living in one city due to her work, but we are both officially registered at her apartment in another city and it is our official address for all official/governmental purposes.

My question is that under the "Applicant's residence last five years" how do we go about explaining the situation? I prefer to tell the truth and say that one address is the official permanent address and that we have another current address due to employment. Will this cause any problems? Is it better to not even mention the current, unofficial address?

I'm in the process of writing a supplementation page describing this issue and we are hoping to send everything on Friday, so what's everyone's opinion on this matter?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Why create unnecessary confusion and mess your case up. Just give them the official address.

Remember the people who process the application are people just like you and me and sometimes what you mention may confuse them - just make it simple and true.

Thanks, but that leads to another question...what happens then with the DS-230 form and the interview? She will have to put down all the places she has lived since she was 16...

I understand what you are saying Navy, and I generally do the same with less important things back home as I did contract work out of Hawaii, but never officially lived there. However, since there are so many forms in this process I don't want to have different versions of our story. Plus, the place we currently live is on an island, so someone familiar with Spain in this process will know that she can't work where she does and live at the official address.

Just wondering how important it really is to provide both addresses...

Anybody else go through a similar situation? We're about to send the I-130 form and are stuck on the G-325A form with the addresses. My wife has a home base permanent residence in one city, but also another temporary place in another city due to work.

For me (the USC) I was living with my then gf in the unofficial address for over a year until we got married and she registered me at her official address. We still live the majority of the time at the unofficial address, but when dealing with my immigration process here in Spain I use the official address. My wife also uses the official address for all official matters.

On the G-325A if I only put the official address I have a gap of residence in the last 5 years...

For my wife, I'm afraid of only putting her official address on the G-325A and then in the DS-230 putting the unofficial addresses; basically it would be not providing the same information in all the forms and then send up red flags, wouldn't it? Or can she argue that she didn't put them in the earlier forms because they weren't her official addresses, and now that the DS-230 asks for addresses where she has lived we have provided those?

On the other hand, if we provide all the addresses now, would it complicate matters like Navy said above, and ultimately send up red flags or delay the process if they need RFE's? I have a statement made for the supplemental page that basically says we live at both addresses because of my wife's employment situation and that we travel between both as frequently as we can. The permanent address is used for all official purposes.

Just a bit confused and worried and looking to see if anybody has been in a similar situation. Thanks again.
