I have to give details of my previous addresses since the age of 16 on DS260. However, I have few questions about my stay in other countries

Here is my history of stay.

Jan 2007 to May 2014 I largely stayed with my parents. However, during this time I traveled for work and in late 2013 I got permanent job in a country (Saudi Arabia) where I am staying since then. Here is my work/stay history.

1.       From 01-Jan-07               to          02-Jan-10 at family home let’s call it A in Pakistan

2.       From 02-Jan-10               to          30-March-10 (3 months) traveled to Qatar for work and stayed at company arranged hotel.

3.       From 01-Apr-10               to          15-Jan-11 again at family home A

4.       From 16-Jan-11               to          16-Mar-11 (59 days) traveled to Kuwait for work and stayed at company arranged hotel.

5.       From 16-Mar-11             to          23-Jan-13 stayed at family home A

6.       From 24-Jan-13               to          01-Apr-13 (67 days) traveled to Saudi Arabia for work and stayed at company arranged hotel.

7.       From 02-Apr-13              to          18-May-13 stayed at family home A

8.       From 19-May-13             to          07-Jul-13 (49 days) traveled to Saudi Arabia for work and stayed at company arranged hotel.

9.       From 08-Jul-13                to          31-Aug-13 stayed at family home A

From 1 Sep 2013 till to date I am living in Saudi Arabia. I occasionally visit my family back home in Pakistan but hardly stayed more than a month. During this time my family changed two houses. Let’s call them Home B & Home C.

10.   From 1 Jun 2014             to          31 Dec 2019 my family stayed at home B. This is the same place where my marriage took place and I stayed with my wife as I mentioned in i130A. After the marriage I came back to Saudi Arabia. I was in Pakistan for almost a month.

11.   From 1 Jan 2020 my family has moved to a new place which we own and I am going to live there again for a month in February.

 

So, my question is how I shall disclose all this on form DS260?

 

Shall I just ignore my short work stays between 2007 and Aug 2013 and just say I stayed at home A from 1 Jan 2007 to Aug 2013?

From Sep 2013 till to date do I have to just mention my address in Saudi Arabia, or I must disclose my family home addresses in Pakistan as well especially when I stayed there for a month after my marriage?

In my opinion, if you were working in another country, you were living there.  I would disclose all of the addresses.

Even if i stayed for three months or less (at max ) and stayed in hotels? Wouldn't this also require me to produce police certificates especially for entry no 2 and 4 in original post. For Saudi Arabia since i am already living here i am in process of getting police certificate.
