Need Help Filling Out N-400 Section 6-A

[worrywart2013 2]

Working on the wife's N-400 this morning and got to Section 6-A. Our residential address and primary mailing address hasn't changed, but we have a couple of PO Boxes that we've used for online stuff (orders, online friends, that sort of thing). Should we or do we need to list them under Section 6-A since they aren't residential addresses? Or would be better off either leaving them off the form or attaching a separate sheet explaining what they are used for?

6A as I read it applies to Residential and B Employment, not mailing boxes.

Should we attach a separate sheet explaining alternate addresses that might come up on background/credit check or not worry about it?

You are WAY over-thinking it. They only care about your RESIDENTIAL address for background check purposes. Mailing address is simply that, where you want them to mail your paperwork

So we shouldn't worry about the PO Boxes or attach any sort of explanation?

Nope, they're irrelevant. Just write whichever PO Box you want your mail sent to in the "mailing address" section and that's all that's needed about that.

So the PO Boxs wouldn't need to be listed under Section 6A where it asks about where we've lived for the last five years?

Vanessa are you saying we can use P.O.box address as mailing address ? So if you do that instead of getting the letters from USCIS in my home address i would receive it in the P.O box? I'm asking this because maybe I will be moving out of my apartment after i file for my citizenship. I'm not sure if I'm moving or not or where yet by the time i file (next month).

Yes, of course. I do not get street delivery so all my mail should be addressed to my PO Box (USPS isn't supposed to deliver it without it apparently, but they do anyway).

I've used my PO Box since ROC.
