I-129F Current Address vs. Physical Address

[JoeandArend 2]

Had a question regarding address that I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction with.

 

I was living in Chicago, IL before I came to South Africa on a 6 month tourist visa. Since I was going to be gone for an extended period of time, I moved all of my things to my parent's home in Ohio. I started using that Ohio address for pay stubs (I am self employed) Jan 1, 2020 (even though I arrived in South Africa October of 2019), but my drivers license is still tied to Illinois as I did not change that before I left for South Africa. I am still here in South Africa on lockdown and am starting the K-1 process, will I get scrutinized for using the Ohio address as my mailing address and checking the box in 8-j stating that my mailing address is the same as my physical address (even though my drivers license is still in IL)?

 

Also in terms of address history, I had a lease here in South Africa however I am just on a tourist visa. Do I need to specify that this is my address or will that be unnecessary since I don't have a real visa here and I'm simply here on tourism? 

 

Thanks for the help in advance!

All addresses should be reported. Vacation addresses do not count for this exercise. Let USCIS sort out what they want and what they don't care about. That would be the safe thing to do.
