I have two questions regarding some of the items on the I-130 form. Both are listed under Section C, Information about your relative.

1) #15 Name and address of present employer: I can't fit the full name and address of my wife's employer in Japan in the space provided on the form. Is it OK to just write the name of the company and Tokyo, Japan? Or is it required to have a full address?

2) #18 Address in the United States your relative intends to live: Does this have to be my address? I ask this because midway through the visa process for my wife the lease on my apartment will be up and I might have to move. I'm afraid if I do move and I use my current address I might not get important correspondence from USCIS, NVC, etc. I also heard the address that you list here is the one where they send the green card to. Is it OK to use a relative's address, such as my parents?

You are not held to the address you list here, circumstances can and do change. This question is asked again on the DS-230 and it is the address listed on that form that the green card is sent to.

My 2c is that the intended address of your wife should be your address, or it's going to look dodgy. You can always update it when you move and have the address that she'll be coming to.

For your wife's employer, I would recommend including the full address on an additional piece of paper that you attach to your application. This can contain other information that is relevant to your case

So if I were to use a different address would they ever check to see if my wife is living there? Or is the address basically just used for sending the green card?

My 2c is that the intended address of your wife should be your address, or it's going to look dodgy. You can always update it when you move and have the address that she'll be coming to.

How would you go about updating the address?

For the employer info, is it OK to hand write the address? If I type it, it doesn't fit. But I can make it fit if I write it by hand. Or does all information need to be typed?
