Question about filing from fiance's country

[CrawlingChaos 0]

Hopefully not a stupid question, but I'm currently living in the UK with my fiance and was wondering whether, on all the documents where my address is needed, I should put my current UK address or my family's US address which I'm going to be living at when I move home in September (and where I have all my US mail forwarded through.) I know it's going to be kind of a pain either way but obviously I want to get this stuff sent as soon as possible, on top of which one of my main proofs of meeting/ongoing relationship is the fact that we've lived together for two years so I don't want to put my US address down for fear of misrepresenting that or anything. Has anyone been in a similar situation, and do you have any advice?

Additionally, the step-by-step K1 guide here says that I can submit "a copy of ALL pages of the US Citizen's passport issued with a validity of at least 5 years" as proof of US citizenship which would probably be most convenient for me but just to make sure, does the wording mean that the passport is valid for 5 years from the filing date or that it was issued for a period or five years to begin with? Mine dates from 2004 and so is due to expire in July 2014, so I wanted to just make sure that the expiration date wouldn't come back to bite me in the rear.

Ugh. Okay, because I am dumb and slightly impetuous I didn't notice the two other topics on the first subject. Sorry, everyone. (I could still use an answer to the second question, though.) Mods, feel free to delete this if you'd like.

My fiance's US passport was issued on 10 years, so I think it has to be valid for another 5 years from the moment of filling.

Welcome to the forum.

To show where the verbiage about the validity of the passport comes from, you should refer to the USCIS Form I-129F instructions, page 1 , 3D:

Good luck on your journey.

#######, guess I'll have to have my dad track my birth certificate down after all, then. Thanks for your advice.
