AOS from F1, G-325a Residence History Question

[keepcalm 0]

Hi All,

I need your help with the technicalities of the address history for the g-325a form, kindly please.

At some point I kept dual residences. During marriage we shared two houses in two cities at the same time due to work and school and housing issues in general, however, there was no way to keep two addresses with the USCIS.

Now I'm just trying to fill that form to the best of my knowledge, and hence the question:

I want to list it just like the form asks to: from - to, but then is it going to affect my AOS due to F1 reporting issues?

Will I be just fine by listing them this way just like they happened? Yes, two towns are little over hundred miles apart, but it was easier than a daily commute to work or school for either of us.

123 Main St, TOWN 2 , State, US 01/2012- 03/2012 (rented another room due to internship)

321 Wysteria Ave, TOWN 2, State, US 01.2013 - 03.2013 (spouses residence due to work)

4565 Country Rd, TOWN 1, State, US 12/2011 - 01/2013 (primary residence due to my school)

Is t

THank you.

Put the house you had and got mail at.

Harpa, that sounds good, but then this gets complicated:

I don't get mail at my current home address (all mail gets returned to sender as undeliverable), so I'm using my inlaws' addy as the official one even though I don't reside there. So even though we are using their address for filing of all docs, we don;t really reside there.

What say you?

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

You have to put your real address. They can do home checks on you. If they show up at your in-laws and they say "they don't live here!" it will not be good.

There is another place for mailing address, but be sure the parents is ONLY the mailing address and not your physical or present address.

I don't get mail at my current home address (all mail gets returned to sender as undeliverable),

Wow, that's a crappy place.

The immigration might suspect you and your spouse didn't really live together, so I'd attach an explanation why you had two houses, etc. And gather as many envelopes as possible that are addressed to both of you.

I'm also adjusting from F1 but I don't know the address thing will affect your F1. But I wouldn't worry about it because you are applying for green card, and once you get green card your F-1 thing won't matter anymore. F1 students are also not supposed to have a dual purpose to stay in the USA, we are supposed to have one purpose---to study. But we are breaking it already by marrying a US citizen and applying for green card and the immigration doesn't care as long as it's not a fraud marriage. So you know, they probably wouldn't care too much about the reporting thingy. You did report one of your addresses to USCIS right? I don't think they even asked us to report ALL addresses we have, so that would be your argument if they ever ask you about it at the interview.

I would rather worry more about persuading them that you guys lived together. But as long as you explain everything honestly you'll be fine. Fact is all we got anyway.

@Coleman21,

You are right.

@newacct - it's not a crappy place, it's something I have no control over.

There is a reason we are not living together in one apartment - can't break a lease in one place, and the other apt is simply tooooooooooo small. So yes, we still spend one night here and another there, there's no room for all of our things to keep in and to fit into one space. Once the leases are over we can get a place toghether. Keep in mind that sometimes work or school distance plays a big role in commuting.

Going back to my question:

since we are sharing both spaces on the daily basis, do we list both of them on each g-325a, or does each of us list theirs only and have an IO discover that and ask q's during the interview, not a big deal on our part, no fraud here.

[Coleman21 6]

i'd list all... because you don't want IO to think you are hiding something.

what are other people's thoughts?
