K-1 visa, Alien's home has no physical address

So, I'm filling out a k-1 form with rapid visa. My fiancee lives in Kenya, specifically in a small town where they simply don't have street names or addresses of any kind, they just give directions based on landmarks. I keep getting reminded from the rapid visa staff to include an address and I feel like they don't believe me when I say there isn't one, lol. Has anyone else had this issue?

That's why it's best and easiest to fill it out yourself instead of relying and paying a third party service to do so. I've read that some would just put down an address as accurately as possible, usually just filling out the name of a village and a house number for example or even explaining the location (e.g. first entrance next to so and so). Nothing will be mailed to your fiancé so USCIS is not overly strict with that.

This is generally the case for underdeveloped countries, and RapidVisa ought to check its developed country privilege. 
 

( truth be told the house I grew up in in Canada didn’t have an assign street name or address till long after I moved away)

 

I didn’t have that issue with RapidVisa because I didn’t use RapidVisa.  I did I-129F myself.  In my then fiancée’s case, her street name was known. I entered her address as: “xyz road near abc street across from the tuv hotel”.  
 

I your case I suggest you name your fiancée’s street after the most commonly landmark she uses for directions as the street name.   Then ask her to count how many doors from nearest end of the street she lives and use that for street number.  If after that RapidVisa complains that Google maps or such rejects the address then maybe not use RapidVisa.

Thousands.   I just wrote what she tells the pizza delivery driver on how to find the house 

YMMV
