Last address at which we physically lived together

[Gloria Hernandez 1]

Hi guys, filling the I-130 form we came upon this part, my question is;

 

I'm from Chile and I've visited my husband in the US under ESTA 5 times throughtout the span of 5 years, each time I've stayed with him for close to 3 months (under ESTA Im allowed to visit without a visa for up to 90 days). So I'm confused if that equals to 'living together' as I usually just go during my summer to spend my break with him (I'm aware thats tourism), then I head back to go to college in Chile.

However, this last visit (which happened from december 2019 to february 2020) we closed on a house and my name is on the title too, so I'm wondering how that affects this part of the form. If some of you experienced this or something similar I´d really appreciate some feedback.

 

Thank you for reading

Visiting your husband for 3 months each year is not "Living Together" in my opinion.

I visited multiple times too, with my longest stay around 2 months.  For that section in the I-130, we just put: "Never lived together.  Only visited."

I know, I've never intenteded to live there just visit, my concern is that wouldn't it be a red flag for the USCIS officer that I stayed in the US for 3 months and didn't put the address I lived with my husband in?

We had the same concern when answering the form.  So this is our reasoning --

 

Traveling with a tourist visa (or ESTA in your case) does not allow me to reside in the US.  As such, I only visited my husband, staying in the same house for x weeks/months each visit.  Yeah, it's just semantics, I know.  But we did not want to imply on a document submitted to the government that I violated the terms of my tourist visa.

 

Hence, "Never lived together.  Only visited."

I understand, how did it go for you guys? Did you got any RFE?

I actually visited for two weeks. I put the hotel address where we lived for two weeks. I am still waiting for case after NOA1. I hope they don't red flag it.
