DS 260 Spouse Address and Beneficiary Employment Questions

[khans1025 6]

1. When my husband gets here, I (the spouse petitioner) will be moving out of my parent's house and living together at our intended address in the US.

In the DS 260, it asks for the spouse's address, i.e. my address.... should I put my parent's address since that is where I am currently living? Or our "intended address"? I would think it's my current address but just want to be sure.

 

2. My husband has an employment gap... he had moved to a different part of the country and was really working odd jobs for several years to get by. Right now we are not adding any employment for this time period, so it appears as an employment gap of 7 years. It's truthful but I just wanted to know how anyone else approached employment gaps in their application, if an officer asked in detail about it and how to answer such a question.

1.  You can use your CURRENT address.

2.  Answer truthfully.  Employment gaps for him is a non-issue.

I am also moving out, but I put the intended address as the one I am at now- my parents home.  That will likely be the first address he ends up in once he crosses into the USA anyway so it will be totally fine.  And as for employment, just put the truthful years and honestly they probably won't ask about his employment.  The only issues that arise occur when the sponsor doesn't make enough income or is right on the line and a co-sponsor is needed.  Otherwise, his/ her employment history is a non-factor. Good luck!

Thanks!!
I have one more question hopefully someone can answer..

He doesn't have a telephone number for one of his previous jobs but I tried "N/A" in the form and it only takes numbers, so I put in zeroes.... is there a better way to do this? There's no "not applicable" option as well

Thanks, appreciate everyone's help and insight

I noticed the same thing on the I-130 form. I think it has to do with the vision number. At least for the I-130, the 2/27/17 version only takes numbers in the phone number filed. The address section is limited too, you can't use "-". But the 2/13/19 version doesn't have those problems. 

 

But I"m not sure which is better - putting zeros or leaving it blank.
