Residence Question

[DanKorn 0]

Hoepfully a quick question.

According to tax questions and voter registration and all official mail and forms I still 'reside' at my home address that I have lived since I was born.

After college I moved out and live in an apartment. This apartment is not my 'official residence', even though I live there. I just vote and file taxes at my parents house. I never changed it because I am 26 and moved from apartment to apartment since college ended.

My question is, on the information of my residence should I put my parents address? This is where I 'reside' as far as the government is concerned.

Also, I was reading the sample interview questions and this made me think of where my fiance 'intends to live'. We will live in my apartment, but should I be consistent and mark that she too will live at my 'official residence' ? or at my apartment?

I just want to be sure all is correct. If my residence is officially where I grew up and she puts a different address will this cause problems?

Any one else have this issue or suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Although the parents address may be considered a permanent address and or your mailing address, when they ask for your residences for 5 or 10 years you should be listing all of the addresses where you physically lived not just where you registered to vote.

If you don't live with your parents, their address isn't your residence (you just get mail there). You live in your apartment so that is your residence. No need to rationalize/over-think it.

If you want-to/need-to use the parents address for mailing purposes, that isn't a problem (usually) but it's not a good idea to say you live there (which is what you'd be doing) when in fact you actually live someplace else.

Ok thank you. I just want to be sure that any Visa information goes to my mailing address. Shouls I use my mailing address as my 'address' on the I-129 and then use my apartment on the residence part? I just dont trust the mail at my apartment as things have been lost and also it is a small little box and dont want things jammed into it.

And let me guess...your have only one pen and it has JUST enough ink to list ONE address and which should it be?

LIST THEM BOTH...list the dates you lived at each address (from...to) The do not verify where your mail came to or what your dirvers lisence says and couldn't possibly care less. No one cares about who is concerned or not, just list your address and employment (hint: education is NOT employment)

LISt each place you have resided for the last five years.

Thanks for the advice...and the sarcasm. I really appreciate all of the help provided by the boards, but why do people have to be so angry. I think we all are here for the same reason and don't need to be belittled.

The little details are things that people perceverate over and I want to make sure that some little detail does not mess up my Visa petition because I am doing it myself.

Thanks again.

And why do "people here" not appreciate a little humor with their valid answers? Sheeesh. I am not at all angry. I sleep with the most beautiful woman in the world every night, how could I be angry?

Good luck.
