I have been working in a foreigner country since 2009 till now. I am going to my home on one month vacation to meet my lady and get married and I will be back to work.



So, relating to my address in the I-130 form Question C 2 and Question 19, should I type my address in my home country or my address in the foreign country where I am working and staying?



and relating to the G-325a form: ( Applicant's residence last five years. list present adress first )


since we will try to complete the forms together while I am on my vacation in my home country and then travel back to my work in the foreign country.


Should i type my present address the one where I am staying on my vacation. or the address in the foreign country.


or Should I declare in a separate sheet: (starting from: my address will be ( the working address in the foreign country)



and one last question: where would the interview be ( home country or the foreign country where i am staying and working)
