I think I may have made a huge mistake on the entire application.

 

For some background my wife and I met in Colombia. She is from Venezuela but went to Colombia because she has dual nationality and it was a better place to be then Venezuela. She was there for 5 months. We had originally applied for the K1 visa. We used rapid visa for that and for some reason they put that she was there for 6 months. So on the k1 visa application, it says she was there for 6 months in Colombia. And on the CR-1 application I put she was there for 5 months. I did this without checking the dates to make sure they are in accordance on both the k1 app and cr-1 app. We are going to get a police cert from Colombia just in case there ask for it, but will this be a problem? 

 

Another big one. My wife and I went from Colombia to Ecuador and we were in Ecuador as tourists for 5 months. Rapid visa told us that we had to put down that she was living in Ecuador even though she was there on a tourist visa, so we put that information on the k1 application. Months forward we get married and do the cr-1 instead. I put the same addresses from the k1 app on the cr-1  app so there will not be conflicting info. So on the i-130a  she has an address for living in Ecuador for 5 months even though she was there as a tourist. This address is a hotel. There are also other hotel addresses that we stayed at. These are also not on the i-130a. 

 

Now fast forward to today. I'm doing the ds-260. It is asking for me to put the addresses where my wife has lived at previously. The instructions clearly say not to include hotels or places that she lived at temporarily. The I-130a form has her living in Ecuador for 5 months, and now I cannot put that into the DS-260 since that come to find out is classified as a temporary home. Where do I even go from here? Thank you for all of the help. 

Fill out the ds-260 with the correct information and if asked you can always explain the mistake in the I-130a.

So it is best to exclude the hotels we stayed at in Ecuador?

Yes if the form says not to include hotels as addresses then you shouldn't. Sometimes there are conflicting information in the original petition. You can now correct this on the ds-260

Do you think this will put our case into administrative processing? we are trying out best to avoid that. We are already filling in a country where she is a resident and not a citizen. i imagine that is already a negative factor.

This shouldn't be a reason for they to put you in admistrative processing.

Definitely not a negative factor for us.   They asked for her residence card and we also had her Mexican Driver's license.  You just need to make sure you have the state Police Clearance if she has been in country for more than 6 months.  My wife was just under 6 months so I included here stamped entry slip into Mexico with our packet.

I am trying to fill in the addresses. We were at hotels in Ecuador for four months. The form is not letting me put a four month gap. After Ecuador we were in Mexico and this is where we live now. But for the first 5 months in Mexico she was a tourist. Hence we were in hotels. This is very confusing. What should I even put down? I do not have proof of all the hotels we were at in ecuador and mexico. Please help. This is driving me crazy lol. Thank you

If you are on a tourist visa, this should mean that you are visiting that country so therefore I would use my original home address at that time. If asked at the interview then you can explain.

Before going to Ecuador she was in Colombia for a few months,. Note this is not her home country although she was there as a citizen( it’s her second citizenship. ) 

 

would you say say her original home address was Colombia or Venezuela? Since she left Venezuela for Colombia  she has not physically gone back

What did she use as her home address during that time?

During that time, she would have considered her home address to be Venezuela. She never returned there, but if she would have gone "home", It would have been there. We never really thought about it. 

[NikLR 13,220]

Then use that.

EVERY petition goes into AP for some amount of time.  I don't think that will hurt you.  Have the correct information in the actual visa application and you should be OK.  Many filipinos file from their OFW country.  You are interviewing on US soil no matter what country you interview in.  Don't overthink it.  That isn't a negative on its own.  It is more common than you think.  (I can't pass up one more opportunity to let everyone know that Rapidvisa SUCKS!)  LOL  They have screwed so many good couples...
