Travel a lot for work - what to put as addresses?

[lgb2015 51]

Hello! We are starting to put our AOS packet together. I work a lot overseas, often doing short contracts of 2-4 months, but have always retained a base in the UK during that time. I have taken several longer term overseas contract (between 6-9 months), but returned to the UK several times during that period. I'm not sure what would count as a physical address and therefore what to include in the I-485 - for example, I worked in Iraq for 9 months, but was travelling a huge amount during that time and didn't have one 'address', but I also wasn't in the UK. What do you think? I could list out 8-9 different addresses in the form, or just put my UK base for most of the period (except one country where I established residency during that period)? I don't want pages and pages of additional information - my work is already complex enough!

Put residential address as uk, so your notifications/mail etc goes to a safe secure address, then tick physical address box (if different to residential) and put the overseas work/employer site address there, since your not physically in the uk and somewhat transient.. my hubby has the same issue, he’s a maritime captain which makes physical address really tricky since he trips thousands of miles, so he just gave employers..

Thank you! Did your husband also then list all the different locations he worked (in the section listing physical addresses for 5 years), or just the headquarters of the companies he was working for? If I list out all the places I've physically been and worked over the last 5 years I have 4 additional pages of information.
