Which address to provide while living abroad in order to apply for I130?

Recommended Posts

I am a US citizen married to an alien and living abroad for two years. I haven't filed I130 for her yet. On the USCIS online application form, I need to provide my current address and whether I live there currently or not. If I pick Yes as an answer to where I live currently, how will prove that I have been living with her abroad during our marriage?

How should I proceed in the address section while I am maintaining basically two residencies, one in abroad, and one in the US?

Realize that the form is used for multiple types of family visas.  We did not live in the US when we filed.  I used the house I owned in the US and intended to live at but also put remarks in the additional information section.   For mailing I had a UPS store location that collected all of my mail and my mother forwarded it along.

You show your passport stamps and other direct evidence of your presence in her country to show that you are living together abroad.  Just interpret the questions literally and answer them honestly.  It's wise to choose a US mailing address if can.  Enter your foreign joint address as your residence address.

I used both my USA address and local address abroad. Cannot recall if there was a current address and permanent address question. But I do recall using both. I also maintain two households.

No current and permanent options.  Only mailing and physical.  You can "use" a mailing address, but you do not "use" a physical address.  You "tell the truth" about where you physically reside/live CURRENTLY.  With a few exceptions you do not reside or live a country when using a visitor visa.
