Address issues when filling out form I-130

[Timdo72 1]

What physical address should I put on form I-130 during the 8 months that I was vacationing oversea?

 

So here is the situation:

I left the US mid June 2019 oversea to meet someone. Not knowing when I would be coming back to the US so I decided to cancel my apartment lease agreement and put everything in storage. I didn't change or update my resident address at all since I left. I ended up staying oversea for 8 months just on vacation and not working at all. Now I am back in the US as of mid February for the first time since I left. For the first 4 months oversea I was staying at various hotels as I was building a relationship with my girlfriend then. After the first 4 months I moved in to live with my girlfriend at her place. After 3 months of living together we got married with a marriage certificate. One month after our marriage I am back in the US trying to file form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative on my own.  Form I-130 asks me to provide my physical address for the last 5 years. I now have a new current physical address since I came back to the US. My marriage certificate in January 2020 has my previous US address on it since it was the last known address that I was staying at in the US. The question I have is what physical address should I put down as my previous address during the 8 months that I was staying oversea? Should I put down my last known US address that I was staying at before I left oversea and since it is also the address listed on my marriage certificate? Thank you in advance for your advice!

For that time period, indicate "No fixed address.  Traveling abroad."  You were only visiting, not "residing" unless you had a visa type that allows "residence".  An exception would be the Philippines where a tourist can "live" forever as long as they keep extending and leave for at least a day once every three years.
