Significance of listing every address on I-130

[Yogalife 3]

Hi everyone,

 

on the form it asks for all addresses the last five five years if we have been living here, do you know the reasons behind this? What if we just subleted for a few months do we need to list it as well?

 

thoughts?

 

thank you!

You should list all addresses.

[givionte 138]

List all your addresses you lived at.  The significance is they are running a background check of sorts, and want an honest, complete answer of your whereabouts.  Providing all addresses protects you, because if they come across some information about you at a certain address you never provided, you are committing potential fraud by not stating the full truth on your application.

 

You have the additional info page, which you can make as many copies of it as you need to get your addresses listed.

Make an electronic list because you will need it for other forms later.

Hi Paul and Mary,

which are the other forms we will need it for?

 

thank you!

I would think ANY gap in the time table will cause for questions later..

1. It needs to be listed because it's being asked. That's really what it comes down to. If you want a benefit from them, you gotta do what they say.
2. All previous addresses lived at need to be listed, regardless of the housing arrangement.
3. Presumably it's used for background checks, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was compiled into a database as well.

Yes, I would list them all - they did ask you specifically to do so. Here's an example I did on I-485. Would be similar to I-130.

If the last page - part 14. additional information is not enough for you just type a new form with this format. Below is what I included in the new sheet. Make sure you sign.

 

Attachment with additional information for

I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status

Spouse Beneficiary Name: Abcde
A-Number: 

Page Number: 4; Part Number: 3
Address History: Physical Address 8
The spouse beneficiary has an additional address record that could not fit on the form.

Date From:
Date To:

How big of a gap are we talking about?

 

Will a 1-2 week gap cause problems? Like staying at Mom's house or at a hotel between address changes, for example...
