i-129f Address History: how to list both permanent and college addresses?

[Scott123 0]

form i-129f requires listing all addresses for the past 5 years with no elaboration. I could not find this question answered elsewhere on this portal (the best I've seen is advice to INCLUDE short term college addresses):

 

I've had the same permanent address (parents home) until last year, but 4 unique college dorms/apts in between, and my new permanent address, all in the last 5 years.

 

How do I list these? Do I have to repeat my parents' home over and over between each college dorm address? this will require 11 addresses. I can't think of a way that is both honest and not annoyingly excessive. Can I just list my parents home once, for 4 years until my new permanent home, and just include the college addresses double counting for some of the time, or is that unwise?

 

my address history is:

 

college dorm 1: spring 2020

home: summer 2020

college apt 1: spring 2021

home: summer 2021

college apt 2: fall 2021 - spring 2022

home: summer 2022

college apt 2 again: fall 2022 - spring 2023

home: summer 2023

college dorm 4: fall 2023

home: early 2024

new permanent home: 2024-now

my suggestion would be (using example months for the college stuff):

 

parents home: 2020 - 2024 (or if you were living there your entire life before college, put your birth year as start date, otherwise leave as 2020. I put my birth year and it wasn't an issue)

dorm 1: march 2020 - may 2020

apt 1: march 2021 - may 2021

apt 2: august 2021 - march 2023

dorm 4: august 2023 - february 2024

current address: march 2024 to present

 

and just make sure the dates line up for when you left your last dorm, to when you moved back in with your parents, to when you moved to your current address, i.e:

dorm 4: 8/1/2023 - 1/1/2024

parents home:  2020 - 3/1/2024

current address: 3/2/2024 - PRESENT

 

that is personally what I would do, others may have a better idea.

since you will have to use page 12 for this, you can include a short explanation regarding the addresses, that you were in college and were moving back and forth between semesters
