Hi All,
I have lived in Colombia (in 2 different cities) for the past 2 years, but lived in each apartment for about 10 months before going home to visit my parents for about a month in the summer. I will be living here for the next year also as we do the visa process. I have not "resided" at my parents' home in the past 5 years. But it is the address I use to have mail sent and such. However, I want any correspondence from the USCIS sent to my address in Bogotá, not my parents´address.

How do I reconcile all this on the forms? Does my parents' address need show up somewhere, as proof of "domicile" in the US? If so, where and how?

Also, on the I-129F form, Question 14: Address in the US where your fiancé intends to live? What do I put? We are living in Colombia until the end of this process and then moving to New York City together and finding an apartment together. Said apartment does not yet exist. Do I attach something explaining this? I'm certainly not putting my parents' address...

Any help is appreciated...

Put in the address where you want to have Packet 3 and 4 sent. You don't need to mention your parents address. I put in my work address. No problems with that whatsoever.

As for Question 14. Are there any relatives of the USC you could be staying with once you move back to the US? If so, I'd put that address. Alternatively, I would assume that attaching an explanation about your situation would be fine. Maybe one of the other VJers was/is in a similar situation and can give you more detailed information about that.

Hope you journey will go smoothly!!!

Thanks a lot....Anyone else want to weigh in? We can use all the help we can get.....

I do not know the 'technical' issues with not providing a US address where the beneficiary will be staying - but it sure doesn't look good from my perspective. If you can't use your parents address - how about another relative (brother/sister/uncle/aunt) or a good friend? Good Luck
