DCF in Frankfurt, Form DS-230 I

[Mary G. 0]

I am an American citizen petitioning for my German husband through DCF in Frankfurt. We are currently living in Germany, although I do still have an address in the States (at my parents' house). In the I-130 application, I put our address here in Germany as my address, but for the DS-230, where it asks in question 10 for the permanent address in the United States where you intend to live, and the name of a person who currently lives there, what should my husband put? Of course he will use my parents' address, but should be put one of their names as a person who lives there, or would it be okay to use mine? I know at some point I need to prove that I have maintained a domicile in the United States, but I can't be saying I'm currently living in both countries simultaneously. Anyone else know a way around this problem? The form later asks (in question 14) for spouse's address (mine)...and again, I'm not sure which to put--my address here in Germany with him, or the address in the United States. It seems it doesn't make sense for me to say I'm living at two different addresses, especially on the same page.

Any advice anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Mary

Hello Mary,

We used my husband's parents' address in the US for the US address, and put my husband's father's name and their address (where we will be moving to) on the DS-230. I'm sorry I cannot remember the other question but I think if you're talking about the DS-230 part 1, we put our current address in Germany.

Best wishes,
