Questions on the DS-260

[jenyadenise 4]

We are in the process of completing and submitting the DS-260 online and have a question about how to answer one item. On the page titled: Mailing and Permanent Address Information, they ask the petitioner (intended immigrant/my husand), "Do you have an address in the United States where you intend to live?" This question is under the heading "Permanent Address." We are both living in Mexico so don't really have a permanent address in the US. Though I have maintained a mailing address which demonstrates that I have kept my domicile in the States. When we enter the US, we intend to live temporarily with my father until we get our own place. My father is also the joint sponsor (for meeting the I-864 requirements). Should we enter my father's address as the intended place to live/permanent address? Or do we simply answer No?

Any feedback is much appreciated!

They need an address in the US so your green card can be sent there. I'd say in your situation, use your father's address.

Remember, once you do move to your own place, the petitioner will have to file an I-865 and the beneficiary an AR-11. They're both changes of address forms. Don't delay sending these forms as the AR-11 needs to be sent within 10 days of moving. The I-865 needs to be done within 30 days. Both can be found on USCIS's site.

Thanks for your reply, Saylin! And thanks for the heads up about the address change forms. Much appreciated!
