petition questions

Hi and thank you for reading

So me (from UK) and my fiance Chanel (from USA) are filling in the questions we are currently in New Zealand on a working holiday visa we are applying from here so we can stay together during the process. we really find the paper work a bit scary as we know that filling something in wrong can result in long delays.

the question of : applicants residence in the last 5 years

we have both been traveling around Australia and new zealand for nearly 2 years and have had several appartments for a few months at a time should we include these addresses? or do they only want permanent addresses from UK and USA?

Our other problem is Chanel lived with her mum in America before traveling and now her mum has sold the house and moved so technically she has no registered address in the States can she put her mums new addres even though she has never been there or her old address even though she does not live there any more?

Any help would be amazing and really appreciated

thank you

Jake

The form questions are reasonably clear. They don't ask for your relative's addresses, or where you intend to live. The G-325A says "Applicant's residence last five years". That means you list the address where you actually lived, starting with where you currently live (which is apparently in New Zealand), and going backward. Don't list some place you never lived. Don't list some place indicating you lived there when you were actually living somewhere else at the time. Small gaps for travel or moving between residences are ok. Large gaps would be scrutinized unless you were homeless for a long period. You wouldn't have to list two weeks you spent in a hotel room if you had an actual residence somewhere else that you returned to. You WOULD have to list an apartment you rented for two months if that's where you were living, and you didn't maintain another residence to return to.

Be honest. Be accurate.
