DS-260 addresses since age 16

[JFH 12,190]

With regard to the DS-260 and the addresses I have lived at since age 16, what is the situation with student housing? I went to university at 18 and lived in halls for the first year and a shared house after that. But I didn't stay during the holidays. It asks for address where you have lived for at least six months. I never stayed there for six months at a time as the holidays were more frequent than that but would they still consider that "living" there and making occasional visits to my parents or would they consider I lived with my parents during this time?

I would suggest that you input your parents' house address. Since you said you never lived in housing for more than 6 months (I understand why as I am a student too) so the best answer is to put your parents' house address or the address on your government record or something. Put something that you know you will get the information by mail and it's a valid address.

I'm in the same situation too, I don't know what to do...

I submitted my DS-260 on Dec 11th and i added my university addresses over the 3 years.

I just thought it was weird to say i went to university in London for 3 years but my parents home address was in Newcastle. I thought that may raise suspicions but who knows.

Each case really varies. There can be than one way to answer this question. Really, it's best to ask the NVC but sometimes the NVC representatives give bad answers too. No one will know if they have answered it according to the directions or not until they are interviewed.
