When entering the U.S with a K1 visa, what country do you put on the customs and border protection form as your country of residence?

Is it the U.S or the country you're originally from?

This is an interesting question. If you want to be technical about the legal definition of residency: it is the place where a person's habitation is fixed and during periods of absence, he intends to return. When a K1 entrant enters the US for the first time he/she is not yet a resident having not established residency (by domicile or other means) though he/she has the intent to do so. So, technically he/she is not yet a resident of the US and should enter the address from abroad as his/her place of residence.
