Ugandan Address Okay?

[CrammyFamily 2]

Hello everyone, Amelia here again.

As some of you may know, in Uganda addresses to not have a street number. Just the name of the road, the name of the area, and the city. Is this going to be valid?

For instance, my husband's address is GXXXXXX Road, NXXXXX, Kampala, Uganda.

I really don't know how else we can put something different. It is only certain plots on main roads which are given plot numbers. Our apartment we lived in is Plot 12345 BXXXXX Road, NXXXXX, etc... and I am thinking that this may cause us a problem since we will be including one address with a plot number, and several others without.

Any experienced filers with the same situation? Did they send RFE's or whatever?

Thanks for the help!

Oh, and when requesting "Full Name and Address of Employer", do they really require the full address? I can't remember the addresses of some of the places I worked, so I was just gonna write the city and state. Is that enough?

Do you happen to know the plot number? if not you should still be fine! I never got a rfe regarding my address correction! As for prev employment....can you look them up to get the correct addresses??

Good luck

No, there is no plot number for most of the places we will be listing as they are kinda like slum areas. Even on the water, electricity and tax bills there is none listed. I even google earthed them, with no luck!

Yeah, silly me, I can look the work addresses up. Is writing TX for Texas okay, or should every answer be full-form?

Thanks for the reply!

We also used the plot number because of this. If there is no plot number, it shouldn't really be an issue. Most of the communications will be sent directly to the US citizen address in the US.

Yes, it's okay. Use whatever address he has, even if it's "turn left at big tree."

Yes m'am "TX" for Texas won't be a problem at all

Perhaps posting your address on a public forum is not such a good idea?

Regardless of how "accurate" it is.

I've edited out the identifying information of the actual addresses for security reasons. The gist of the post remains unchanged and should not affect the accuracy of your responses.

Sorry, wasn't thinking about posting the address being safe or not. Thanks Catherine!
