Problem concerning present address, DS-260

[Sunnymrut 3]

Hi to All,

I am very glad I found this place and hope it will be helpful for me to fill out the DS-260 form correctly. Sorry if the topic has been previously discussed.

I have been currently selected for further processing DV 2015, and one thing is bothering me now.

When I first entered my information for DV 2015 in Oct 2013 I put the address where I grew in childhood and where I am actually documentally registered currently. But it is already 6 years I live with my husband at his address with whom I only got married in 04.04.2014. As we were not officially married at the time of the DV 2015 entrance in Oct 2013, I did not include him in my entrant case. I included only our son who is 5 years old already.

Now I don't know if it will be a problem for me to put my husband's address in DS-260 and admit that I actually was living in his address while entering information for DV 2015 in Oct 2013, and also will adding him to my case as my spouse now cause any problems?

Also one more thing, my husband has diabetes type 1. Can that be a reason for visa denial?

Please help.

And thank you for it in advance,

Regards,

Adding him as a spouse won't be an issue I suspect as the presence of your son would indicate this is not a Green Card marriage (ie marriage for (immigration) convenience). You will need to submit a DS260 for yourself, your husband and your son.

I don't think your actual residential address matters for the DV? I could be wrong.

Thank you much for your reply. I will just put my childhood address as my mailing address, cos it's more confortable for me to get mails from there, and my husband's address as my present address. I think it won't be a problem then.

The US won't really care what your "documentary" address is ... and they are highly unlikely to need your physical address for anything (possibly just as part of the background check so do put the physical address as where you actually live). Everything re your spouse is correct, as you were not legally married at the time of entry it was correct to leave him off and you can add him now. It sounds like you will have no problem proving it is a real relationship.

Visa denials for medical reasons are generally for untreated or untreatable infectious diseases, so no diabetes won't be a problem from that perspective. FYI the diseases that would be a problem are listed below, from the CDC website:

http://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/exams/medical-examination-faqs.html#5

What are the communicable diseases of public health significance that would cause an applicant to fail a medical examination or be inadmissible?

Communicable diseases of public health significance include—

• Tuberculosis
• Syphilis
• Chancroid
• Gonorrhea
• Granuloma Inguinale
• Lymphogranuloma Venereum
• Hansen's Disease (Leprosy)

And the following two disease categories--

• Quarantinable diseases designated by any Presidential Executive Order. Current diseases include: cholera, diphtheria, infectious tuberculosis, plague, smallpox, yellow fever, viral hemorrhagic fevers, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and influenza caused by novel or re-emergent influenza (pandemic flu).
• Events that are reportable as a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) to the World Health Organization (WHO) under the International Health Regulations (IHR) of 2005 (currently polio, smallpox, SARS, influenza, and other public health emergencies of international concern.)

Thank you for very helpful answers. On another note, if you could advise what I should answer to this Question in DS-260. "Do you have documentation to establish that you have received vaccinations in accordance with US law?"

I have looked through all the discussions in the site, and some say "yes" others "no". I don't even know if all my vaccinations are in accordance with US law or not.

Well, it's precisely the fact that the only documentation that will definitively establish a "yes" answer will come from a panel doctor that would make me think the (correct at the time you send the form) answer is "no"; and when you are prompted to explain, say it will be done at the medical. I don't think it actually matters what the answer is really because either way by the time of interview it should be done.
