G-325A and I-130 Address Problem

[Anon1111 0]

Hello

My wife and I got married a week ago and we are currently working on my AOS forms.

We both reside in the U.S. so I'm hoping that AOS process will be much more smooth and easy.

I've used internet resources and books to find out what forms I need to send to USCIS, and the basic procedure of AOS.

The book explains really well on what I should do, but it doesn't have the answers that I want.

I have some problems with filling out the addresses on the forms G-325A and I-130.

When my wife and I got our marriage license, we both put my parents' residence address because that's where I live and we didn't want to complicate things.

So now we're assuming that we have to fill out G-325A and I-130 using the address that we put on our marriage license.

However, we're not really living together yet but when I move out in a month, we will be living together.

On the G-325A form where it asks to give the residence within the last 5 years, she put my address on the top and her current address on the bottom of that, basically saying that she is living with me right now.

So on I-130 I'm wondering what address my wife supposed to put for question #2 (the address section), question #18 (I already live in the U.S.), and question #21 which asks the last address we lived together.

I feel like writing down separate addresses on the forms, sending it off, get the NOA, and move to the new place and filing the change of address form is going to make things more complicated.

So I feel like we should put one address for the whole forms.

What should I do?

Also, to which address does the USCIS send the NOA of I-130 approval, NOA of I-485 approval and stuff like that?

If my wife were to use her current address, would NOAs be sent to her?

So to summarize (within the context of my situation)

1. Which address should I use?

2. What should my wife put for question #2 (part b), #18 (part c), and #21 (part c) on I-130?

3. Which address is the one that USCIS sends the NOA and notices?

4. How long does it usually take to get NOAs approval of I-130, I-485, etc?

Thank you very much in advance.

Everything tells you what is needed and where to send it and who to address / make the payments to.

Do not lie on any forms put the correct address etc.

You will have an interview that is mandatory for both people to attend.

Well, obviously you didn't fully read my question on this topic.

Thanks for trying to help anyway.

I was asking to which address does the USCIS send NOA?

Actually no you asked a lot more than just that question. I did fully read your question and if you read the guides and instructions it answers quite a few of your questions. The NOA goes to the address listed as your address! If you put your parents address it goes to that address.

I have a similar problem!

I am Irish. My girlfriend, American. We met while teaching in Korea.

Now, the G-325A needs our address in Korea. Is it acceptable to put our SCHOOL addresses in it, as we don't know our apt. addresses???

Help!

No, you need to put your real address. You did not live at your school.

To the OP - You are making a mess because you lied on the marriage license and said she lived somewhere she doesn't. It didn't simplify things, - it made things confusing. You need to put your real address where you live and where she lives, and file a change of address form when you move. You cannot lie on any of the forms or face consequences, like a ban from the US.
