Beneficiaries Adresses on G-325A

[Antipop 0]

I'm currently worrying about something, but it's probably just stupid paranoia.

This is going to be a bit confusing, so I'll explain it as clearly as I can.

My fiancee is a student, and has therefore moved often in the last five years. First from the home she grew up in, to her sisters for a summer, to dormatories, and then to her current address.

The only two places she's lived for more than a year would be the house she grew up in and her current address.

We put her current address as her last address abroad of more than one year. There is a minor problem with this. She hasn't PHYSICALLY lived there fore more than 12 months. All of her bank information and school information and whatever else has all been sent there, but for three months last summer she came here and lived with me. Since she was here on a work visa we listed my address on her G-325A. But at the same time we still listed her current address as starting in 2004 and lasting until now.

Is it a problem for her to have two concurrent addresses at once on the forms? She never stopped owning a room at her current address. She was always on the lease and was always paying for it, she just wasn't living there for about three months.

Will this be an issue when the person looking over the forms goes over her addresses?

I think that having 2 different addresses is just going to confuse the powers that be. I don't know what you would do if you already sent them off- try to call someone to find out what is going on for sure, I wouldn't just leave something like that to the opinions of just us in here. That sounds like an important thing to take care of asap. If ya get another chance perhaps list the address that would make things easiest on you, like you said the one with all her info getting sent to it. Make it as easy as possible for yourself. I hope everything works out for you, and that you can get it taken care of withouit costing you too much time.

As long as everything lines up, I think it should be OK.

I moved around a lot in the military, and they had what the government recognizes as a "home of record." That's where you actaully are from, but when in a job like the military or student or travelling salesman or something, they should recognize it as a "home of record."

First of all, no the packet hasn't been sent off yet.

And I can't 'just list the address that would make it easiest for me.' because the addresses that are the problem are ones that the government already has on record for her stay here. They have to be listed.

The only other way it could conceivably be listed is to list the address she currently lives at, say she stopped living there while she was here, and then list that same address again for when she left the US. But that's equally as confusing because according to any legal standards, she DID technically live there while she was here. All her billing information and everything else kept going to that house.

I'm currently wondering about attaching a supplimental sheet explaining the information. Would that be considered a no-no by the powers that be, or is it acceptable?

I think that would probably be the best.

If we do redo the forms, what would be the best to put for her Last Address of More than One Year?

She HAS lived at her current address for more than 12 months, just not consecutive months. The only other option is the house she grew up in, but that was 3 years ago.

Ok....Im a little tired but bare with me.

Here's how I would do it.

I-129F questions 2 & 15 - List current address in her resident country. Question 2 or the top address block on forms are mailing address. It doesn't always have to be the current address one is living, dependent on the circumstances.

G-325A

Was the above address you mention, for more then 12months prior to the 3 months in the US on work visa? If so I would list that as the 'last address outside the US of more then one year. If not list the address prior to that of more then a year, even if its her parents home of 3 years ago. IMO I wouldnt overlap dates by having the 'from' and 'to' dates of the 3 months in the US overlaping with the residence abroad.

It would then look something like this...

eg.

'Address of residence abroad' ................October 2005 - Present

'Your address covering 3 month period....July 2005 - October 2005

'Same address as first'..........................August 2004 - July 2005

and so on until you are back to at least the period covering March 2001 to March 2006 (or which ever month you will submit the forms.)

OR

You could list the residence abroad as the current and the last address of more then 12 months.......as well as the 3 months abroad even with the overlap and refer on the form to an attachment explaining the situation. I guess though myself personally, I just dont trust it not to confuse em hahahaha Would hate to see you get an RFE on it. I have noted members posts on RFE's for either gaps or overlaps.
