i-130 cover sheet (address question)

[Happytime 0]

Hi I am almost ready to file, but I have an important question regarding the cover sheet

My address is supposed to be entered right under my name, but what address do I write? The address I currently reside at abroad or my address in the US (which is my official address for tax purposes, as well as a big part of the proof I have that I will be returning to the states (we do plan to live there when we arrive) However my current address in Vietnam is (obviously) the one on the lease I am going to include for evidence of a bona fide marriage, but that is NOT listed as my address for any purposes in the US.

So which one do I use and will either cause any trouble?

Use your current address abroad. You don't have to worry about re-establishing domicile in the US until later on in the process. Recently petitions filed while the petitioner is abroad have been getting expedited so that's why I suggest putting your overseas address.

WOW!!! this is the best news I have had, this makes me feel 1,000 times better. Like you I have been living abroad for awhile and have a TON of docs to prove it. Thank you so, so much

We filed our I-130 in September. We live together outside US in an apartment. I own a home in US.

On the I-130, I put our address outside the US. This made it easier as the USCIS does most of it's work by mail.

When they approved the petition and passed it all on to the NVC, it came time to file I-864 and the visa application itself.

Since the I-864 sponsor needs to reside in the US, I put our US address on the I-864 and everything else we submitted to NVC from that point forward. Since in many cases you can optin for electronic processing with the NVC, we submitted everything to them electronically by email (scan to pdf) and they always contacted us by email so we never had to worry about having mail forwarded by friends in US to us abroad.

That should work.

Good luck!
