Hello,

I just have a quick question that maybe someone could answer for me. During the first year of our marriage, my husband and I lived with my parents. My husband gained employment in September of 2016 in Orlando so we moved to Orlando and signed a lease, which we have included a copy of in our packet. In January 2017 his position was eliminated and we had to break our lease and move back to my parents place. 

So on our application under address and previous addresses in shows parents address Oct 2015- Oct 2016, Orlando with lease Oct 2016-Feb 2017, parents place feb 2017-present.

My husband has since gained employment again and we will be moving to our own place in a few months but we still reside with my parents and we pay them monthly for utilities which are in THIER names. Should I have one of my parents sign a sworn affidavit attesting to this and explaining the address change and send a copy of their ID or just not even mention it and send what we have? I'm starting to think I am overthinking things but I just wanted someone else's advice.

I just don't want USCIS to see 1 address for 1 year, another for 4 months, and then the first address again for a year to present.

Thanks, Cody

If that is where you lived, then that is exactly what you should list.....period....They want accuracy.

And it is, I'm just wondering, should I put an explanation of why 2 of the 3 addressed we lived at are the same?

A couple of ideas:

  • You could make out a signed sublease agreement with your parents. Nothing illegal about that. You can find templates online. I would amend those templates to reflect the actual terms of your stay in your parents' -- what space you live in, what the terms of payment are (shared utilities?). If you paid cash for the utilities, you could even get receipts from your parents.
  • Your parents' affidavits assume greater importance, so make sure they 1) are signed and dated, 2) are unique (not the same, not just copied from somewhere on the internet), and 3) describe your stay accurately (start and end dates of each stay, terms of your stay as described in your sub-lease, if you go with one), 3) personal, describing how they know you, and 4) include a statement that they make this statement on pain of perjury.
