Question about DS-260 online form - re. past addresses

[cabodonna 0]

I am working on filling out the DS-260 form online and it asks for the addresses where my finance has lived since he was 16.

Few places rural Mexico have actual addresses.

Looking for advice on how others filled out this part of the form...

Hi cabodonna,

We haven't had the same experience because my husband has only lived in cities, but my guess would be to use whatever address that might be written on any bills for the rural areas. For example, are there gas or water or electricity bills, etc...? What address is used? Years ago, my grandparents lived in a rural area in the US and their address was just the name of the nearest small town and the zip code for that small town - nothing else.

Hopefully someone with the same experience can give you some more insight!

Good luck!

Hi, our attorney recommended only putting the addresses of where my Fiancé had lived for over a year, and was actually registered living (received mail, or had a contract and things like that). For certain time frames he put his mother's address as he didn't have an official address at some points due to travel and was still registered as being at his mothers. You can do the same if it applies. If not, just put the information that you can. For example the street name, and at least the state and county or town, or city nearby, but if he doesn't know the house number then don't put it. For zip codes we looked up the area online through Google Earth or Google Maps, because my fiancé wasn't totally sure about the exact zip code and like you said, sometimes there aren't real addresses in the rural areas. Best of luck-
