Address history dates

Hi - on the 129f it asks for a 5 year address history. If I have divided time between different houses-addresses during a year should I list the same start and end dates for both or simply list my official residential address in America?

Wherever you were a tax resident and held driver's license / state ID. Wherever you registered to vote and spent most of time.

It's important to be honest and thorough when providing your address history. Background checks will pull a list of known addresses from various sources, so any omissions or discrepancies could raise red flags. The idea of relying on "most time spent" or "tax resident" is not how USCIS defines residence and could lead to issues.

According to USCIS guidelines, “residence” refers to your principal, actual dwelling place in fact, without regard to intent. The duration of your residence in a particular location is measured from the moment you first establish it as your actual dwelling place.

So, if you divided your time between multiple addresses, you need to list them all with their respective start and end dates. This ensures your application is accurate and aligns with USCIS requirements.
