Filling out the I-130; Question About Addresses and Domicile..

[Canadian Bacon 6]

Okay, so I'm filing for my husband who's Canadian and when filling the forms we came to a problem and weren't sure what to put.

I'm currently on a study permit in Canada, I actually just got it recently last November but some financial things came up and we decided to move to the US instead of waiting until we graduate university. Now, I have no domicile of my own in the US other than a permanent address with my parents. My parents have agreed to let us stay at their house(in NE) if needed - they're great like that.

In B.2 of the I-130 I should put my address abroad, correct? That would be our current address, would the application be stream-lined because I'm in Canada with my husband? We want to move as soon as possible...since we can't really afford to live here anymore(Vancouver, BC).

On C.18 We want to move to Portland, OR but I don't have a place there and would like to stay with my husband in Canada(and take classes) while we wait for his visa...What should I put?

N/A and attach a paper explaining that we will establish an apartment in Portland or is it okay to put my parents address?

We do plan to live with my parents for a month or two if we can't find anything(job & apartment) within a week or two of moving. Should we provide a statement from my parents saying we will stay with them, just in case?

Thank you for your help!

Montreal is strict about domicile. Please come read this thread and post in the Canada forum with questions!

On B2 write your Canadian address, you'll have a strong chance of being expedited. It's not 100% but most overseas filers get expedited.

C18 - I'd just include your parents address, there's no reason to make the question more complicated, just make sure that your parents take care of mail and whatnot since I think that the green card and other important paperwork will be sent there and if it's lost it'll be a headache.

Good Luck!
