Address and background help

[jcsilver 0]

Hello,

We have just started out with putting the I-129F and G-325A forms together and we're a little confused regarding the permanent/current/residence addresses.

As we are both relatively recent graduates we both have the intention of putting our parent's addresses as our 'permanent' address for all mail correspondence to be send to. Further confusion comes though as we are currently living together in Spain as we don't want things to be send here with the bad postal service. On the G-325A you have to list your residence addresses over the last 5 years, am I likely to have difficulties where my current address is in Spain and on the I-129F my address is a UK one. On top of that, as I'm sure many people have found, whilst a Student you end up with many different addresses for short periods of time. Do we need to list each and every short term address or can we just use our 'permanent' (aka parents) address?

Also, with regard to background checks. Will I be required to have a Spanish police check as I've currently been here for 6 months and will probably be here for another 3 months?

Any information/help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Basically they want to know where you've been for security checks and police certificate purposes. Fine to put a permanent address for mail purposes, but you can't ignore reporting being in Spain. If you have too many addresses, write "see attached" on the form and add a page where you list all addresses. Make the best, most logical list you can. If you spent 5 days with a friend between apartments, was that really your residence where you got mail and paid bill? Not really. They aren't going to go to every address and check if you were there on those exact dates so give the most accurate list you can.

London website tells you when you require a police certificate:

Police Certificates:  Required for all countries where you have lived for more than 12 months since the age of 16.  Present and former residents of the United States should NOT obtain any police certificates covering their residence in the U.S.
