I130 and G-135A, ranging from difficult to nightmare

[linh1 0]

OK, we have decided to go for the DCF in Bangkok. If they let us. I will fill out profile here in few days.

I130 "Address in the United States where your relative intends to live." I searched this on VJ and it seems to cause problems, even REFs, but no resoultion in posts here. My husband was last in the US in 1990. Trusted friend address? Not even untrusted friend now. Blank. Nothing. So REF.

G-135A "Applicant's residence last five years." This is 5 years for husband only til we get married in 2010.

I will add that there is only one country in the world where we can just drop in unannounced, and that is Thailand. We have had a connected pair of long term, easily renewed visas for over three years.

But our travel list has terrible gaps away from home. It looks bad to other people too. We get really wonderful six month visas for NZ from BKK, but in NZ they had a dog smell my crotch and rear end for 30 seconds. I asked husband why, and when he told me I am sure my eyes crossed. I am so naive. And the NZ customs quesioned so long we missed connecting flight to the South Island. As husband says, we are just a madly-in-love pair of poor but honest fly fishermen.

What will USCIS do to us?

Two things:

You can add another page on the G-325A for your extra address.

If you can't give a place in the US where your husband intends to live he'll probably have to leave you to go back to the US and establish domicile. It sucks but unless you have an address to put down in the US, and also have your mail sent to, this process is not going to be able to move forward. Sorry.
