I am applying for a CR-1 visa for my wife. I am starting to prepare the DS-230. My wife is currently in the United States as a visitor and will remain here until a few days before her I-94 expires. We are expecting a child as well.

I have a question on the DS-230.

Line # 13 asks for present address?

Would I put my wifes address in czech in there, or her address where she is visiting in the US (my house)?

i am in the same situation. i put my home country address, not the temporary address in the US. not sure if that's correct, but i think they are asking for residence.

Dated since 2004, 10/22/2008 Married in NY, wife left the country, returns on 01/06/2009 as a visitor (granted stay until July 2009)

01/15/2009 Sent I-130 package for CR1 to Chicago Lock Box, 01/19/2009 USCIS Chicago received the application

01/26/2009 USCIS sent out NOA1, 01/28/2009 Moneygrams Order cashed

02/24/2009 Case is in Vermont Processing Center (told by the USCIS by calling the free phone line)

03/02/2009 NOA2 mailed, application approved!!!! (47 days since we mailed I-130 package)

03/05/2009 NVC Received Case / Case number assigned

03/12/2009 DS-3032 / AOS fee bill generated and e-mailed to us, 03/12/2009 I e-mailed and snail mailed DS-3032 and paid AOS fee bill online

03/18/2009 NVC received DS-3032 and it was entered into the system (I never received email confirmation)

03/20/2009 IV Bill generated and I paid online

04/06/2009 IV Fee finally shows PAID, 04/07/2009 AVR system says that IV bill has been processed, "instruction package" received by email

04/08/2009 AVR system says "NVC received your documents on April 3...", our case is under review...

Put the address in her home country. Since your wife is technically visiting you now, your address is not her address.

Good luck.
