I-130, Line 21, Line 2B, and G325A work addys, DCF

Hello,

I also posted this on the candleforlove forums:

I am the USC who will be filing the I-130 in Beijing very soon. We have everything ready to file however I have just one question about Line B2 which asks for my address. I have searched high and low for an answer to this question with no clear answer. My wife and I are currently living together here in Shanghai so it makes sense to me to put my China address on line B2. Is there any reason to put a US address here (i.e. my families residence in the US?). For a USC doing DCF it only makes sense to me that I put my Chinese address on line B2.

Also, on I-130 Line 21, can I put our current address where we live together here in China or should I put the address when we lived together in school in the US (we weren't married yet in school)?

One other quick question about the G325A, during a 5 year period of time (my undergraduate school), I spent half the year at school in one state and half the year at work in another state. I've placed both addresses on my form G325A with the correct dates. I'm just worried they won't like the idea that the dates overlap. I have noted this clearly in my cover letter. The other option is, should I just put my fathers address which I used as a mailing address for these 5 years during my undergrad. I didn't in fact actually live at my fathers address for those 5 years during my undergrad however I used that address for everything official (drivers license, taxes, etc...)

Thanks!

Best,

Nick

Definitely use your addresses in China. If you use US addresses, you risk the embassy saying that you should file in a US service center.

I can't remember what line 21 is. If it's the one about the most recent address where you've lived together, use your current one in China.

In my opinion, you're better putting the actual addresses with dates and leaving the explanation in the cover letter. That's only my guess at it though.

Since you live together now, definitely your current address is the last address you lived together.
