I am a US citizen living in Ottawa, Canada with my husband (Canadian citizen) since two years. Now i am applying for his US immigration for which i need to clarify few things.

1. In I-130 which address (US or Canadian) should I put as a petitioner? According to my understanding it should be my US address please if anyone can clarify?

2. Also for G-325a my current address should be my Canadian address since I am living in canada since last 2 years followed by other US addresses where I lived in last five years? any help is appriciated

Put your Canadian address for both.

It may speed up ur petition to write ur foreign addy and also is simply the most correct address to put as that is where u currently reside. Don't sweat the small stuff just write the truth and be honest in all you do. Hope that helps

My wife is an American Citizen living with me here in Montreal and we just started the same process. We specified the Canadian address on both forms as her main residence.

hope this helps.

i understand that my current address is my Canadian address but will it effect my Domicile with America or my ties to America in later stages?

You have to prove intent to re-establish domicile in the us. So keep an account open vote if you like and look for work. Dont worry too much about that as many ppl have applied from abroad still do DCF and get the visa without a problem.

hello

please tell me if i put my Canadian address in both I-130 as well as g325a then on which address will USCIS people send me further paperwork because they told me over the phone that they will only send to US address?

please clarify

specify your Canadian address because this is where you reside now (I`m assuming you`re a permanent resident of Canada).

As stated earlier, my wife and I have similar case as yours; and we just have some mail (from USCIS) delivered to her at our Canadian address.

at a later stage, once your I-130 is approved, you will need to submit an i-864 (affidavit of support). it is at that time that you need to specify your US address you intend to re-locate to.

hope this helps.
