Filed: K-1 Visa Country: Philippines

I’ve been staying primarily in the Philippines for about 1.5 years (as a visitor with visa extensions, and I’ve also made a few trips nearby countries).

My original residence is in the United States where I still own my house, and have continued to file normal US tax returns.

 

My question is this: When filling out the petitioner's address history on the K-1 petition, should I include or exclude the address I’ve stayed at in the Philippines, since I’m here as a temporary visitor and not a "resident", and list only my U.S. address as my “present” address, along with my previous 5 yrs of US addresses?

 

Curious if any other folks who have filed a K1 Petition while living or staying for extended periods overseas have faced this dilemma.

Most in that situation would marry and file I 130

I lived in the Philippines for a year before I filed the I-129F for Jaycel and I took the name of the section literally. "Physical Addresses" So I listed the 3 condos I rented in the Philippines for that year as well as my US addresses for the 5 year period. We were approved with no issue. Here's the instructions from the form:

Second this.... Now going through the AOS process, Jaycel and I wish we had got married in the Philippines and filed for the Spousal Visa instead of the K-1.

I appreciate that, this perspective cleared it up for me. I will include the physical address stayed at in PH.
