how to correctly list residence

[luvmyfamily 1]

I had a stay outside the us for 3 months and 1 month for the past 5 years, do I have to write in the address section in n 400 form the address where I stayed during that time, mind you, i am concerned because the address in my marriage certificate is my philippine address. (i was married in the philippines while I was 1 month away)

Not your permanent address, I assume, just a trip outside of the USA for over 24 hours and far less than six months, just list that as a trip.

I thought you only list the time and country you travelled to and time. I did not think there is any specific requirement to fill the overseas address while traveling. At least I did not see when I filled out the application.

Hmmm...yes I too am currently filling out the N-400 form and I didn't see any place to list addresses during trips outside of the US. I too will be interested in hearing more responses to this question as I also just listed dates and country. I was only out of the country myself on 2 occasions. One was 10 days and the other was just an (in Canada both times as I live very close to the border) but I didn't see any place on the N-400 form which asked for places stayed or specific addresses.

Can anyone clarify this?

i was not originally concerned about this matter, but suddenly, i realized i mistakenly put my philippine address in my philippine marriage certificate.. and its a mess to change that.

so yeah i am just concerned that my marriage certificate has my philippine address, so do i have to write that address down in my n400 during that time period?

No. You are going to write the current address where you are living in your N-400 Application. You could have been married at a different place and it does not matter. For N-400 purposes you put your current address. That will also determine which lockbox your application should be sent to as residents of different states has to send their application to different lockboxes. If you are unsure you can make an info pass appointment and ask for advice from Immigration officer. Or have an atty file your application and save your self from head ache.
