I485- Last Physical Address Outside the US?

[dmkhrj 2]

A little confused about this question.

I lived at Address A from 2006-2012 and then for 4 months in 2016, shortly before moving to the US. This is also the address I used on all my US visa applications.
However, I lived at Address B from Mar 2015-May 2016.

Should I be using Address A or Address B for my last physical address?

Address B obviously. That's where you lived last.

Thanks- should I be using this even though I’ve used Address A on all my other US visa applications?

Of course. You cannot lie on the form.

It’s not a “lie”. There’s a technical difference between the two depending on how you read the question. Thanks for your two cents.

The question is straightforward. It doesn't ask you about the last address you used on previous forms. Only where you lived last.

You’ve made your point.

I'm not sure I have this right. You were at address A, then address B for a short time, and then address A again?  If so, then address A is the last place you lived before coming to the United States, and that's the address you would use.

I do not see any technical difference.

 

Your last physical address is pretty black and white.

Vague term.

 

Were you living at address A the day you boarded a flight to the U.S.?

I was at address A when I boarded a flight to the US. Address A is where my parents still live.

And yet there’s multiple opinions on this thread.

Address A

Perhaps because your OP was not clear to some of us.

Thank you, I apologize for the original post not being clear enough. 

So I take it doesn’t matter if my last stay at Address A was only for four months? And I should be okay with listing the dates as May-August, 2016?

I looked at the I-485 form, current edition.

 

I believe the question OP is trying to answer is:

 

"Provide your most recent address outside the United States where you lived for more than one year (if not already listed above)."

 

I still believe this would be address B. Because this is the last address where OP lived for over one year. Address A was the last address where OP lived but only for 4 months. Neither address A or B would be listed in question about addresses in the last 5 years since the lookback would be 2018.

Lol. So the topic title was wrong, and we were misled.
