Address on I-129F

[johnmcgraw49 15]

Wow wish I had found this site before I started the process. Here's my question....in Kenya where my fiance lives, there are no street addresses. My fiance has no "mailbox". So in places that asked for her address I just listed the street she lives on which is also the main road in Nairobi. Is this going to be a problem???

I'm not sure since this is country specific, but I found this thread that might be helpful to you (although it was made 2 years ago)

I don't think it will be a problem since it is how things are done in Kenya. They cant fault you for that.

I don't 'think' you will have an issue...it's just the way it is in Kenya and the adjudicator processing your file "should be" aware of that (although, of course, I cannot guarantee that). I had the same issue. What I did was I included a continuation sheet with our I-129F explaining the address situation in Kenya and I had no issues. I don't know of anyone in Kenya that can receive mail at their home address...most have a P.O. Box. Worst case scenario, you get an RFE (Request for Further Evidence), then you can clarify it then. In which case I would provide her Building #, her apartment #, and the city in which she resides. An example of the continuation form I included is below. I wouldn't worry over it, really. When the time comes when you reach the Embassy level, all correspondence is via email. No worries. Good luck! ~Jill

Form I-129F Continuation Sheet: Part B, Item #’s 2 and 15:

PLEASE NOTE: For the address block on the Form it specifically asks for “Number and Street”. The mailing address for _______________ is: P.O. Box ____, Nairobi, 00200, Kenya. His physical address is: Danmac Building, # ___, Kasarani. There is no street name and he cannot receive mail at this address. Therefore, on the first page of the Form, Item #2, I only included the P.O. Box because the Assembly Instructions on the USCIS Website specifically state that the address block on the forms is the data field captured for all of your mailings and that whatever is in that block will become the mailing address used by the system. I did this to ensure that he receives all mail pertaining to this petition. On page 2 of the Form, Item #15, I did include his physical street address for your records.
