Permanent address & DS-260

[alex88 3]

Hi guys,

I'm filling the DS-260 and it asks about a permanent address in the US, but I've no address in the US, what should I put in?

They really expect that someone in another country has an us address?

exactly man, im confused as well. i think they want this address to mail the green card. i have relatives but i would rather not put in their address.

Yeah I could have a friend too which can host me until I get the green card by mail but it's something I would avoid.

Also, in the older DS-260 that field was optional!

They want to know where you are going to live once you are in the US. Of course, this is also the address where they would send the greencard. Not sure what your visa type is, where are you going after you step out of the airport?

I think we must email or call the embassy and ask them to help us. This is unfortunately strange.

please share the email or phone for solving this problem............

Maybe we must ask them to change this optional............

Well get an hotel room for the first days and go search for an apartment to rent in the next days, what should I do instead? Rent an apartment since now?

Btw it's the diversity Visa

it's bug me too, but its better to find somene to spend the first days, it's hard to manage on own

Google some options for renting a mail box or for a mail forwarding service. That will get you a US address you can have your green card sent to.

And then, pick a hotel you will be staying at when you first arrive in the US. That will be your address. If you need to change it, you can update this address either at the interview or when you arrive at the border to enter the US.

Once you are in the US and find a permanent place to stay (apartment, house, etc.), or any time you move, you have to notify the government of your new address: http://www.uscis.gov/addresschange

Diversity Visa, got it. In that case follow zuroma999's advise above. Good luck!

I started to fill the DS 260. However, I faced a problem in logging in. a message comes out saying " the case information does not much with our records." What can I do?

Someone knows in how much time the KCC replies to enquiries? I've sent them an email yesterday

Probably a couple of weeks at the moment as they are probably busy. The answers they give are not usually that helpful - don't think of them as a customer service department and they know you have to wait months before DV2015 even starts....
