Settle an argument - addresses on I-751

[TriloByte 1,818]

In Part 2 of the I-751, there's a section about addresses resided in since the two year green card was issued. If this applies to you, you then put the additional info about your old address in Part 11.

 

My husband reckons we are supposed to list everywhere we've ever lived since the two year green card was issued in Part 11 - including our CURRENT address.

 

I say where we currently live does not count as additional info to input in the previous addresses/Part 11 area. We have already put our current address at the beginning/current address section of the form.

 

He says we will get an RFE if we only put our previous address in Part 11 and not our current address also. I think it makes no sense to put our current address down in Part 11. 

 

So, who is correct?

 

Thank you!

Part 11 is for ADDITIONAL info.......not for information you have already entered.  You are correct.

Yep. That’s what I would do. 
 

“If you answered “Yes” to Item Number 22., provide a list of all addresses where you have resided since becoming a permanent resident and the dates you resided at those locations in the space provided in Part 11. Additional Information.”

 

Have you lived at your current address since getting the greencard? Then it is part of ALL addresses.

^ Ok. But doesn't that render the 'enter your current mailing address' area pointless then?! If our current address isn't listed on Part 11, it's not like they won't know where we live now, it's listed right at the beginning of the form! Surely 'additional info' means additional or why use the word 'additional'! 

 

We've very clearly said where we live now and where we lived before; I think putting our current address in Part 11 is taking pedantry too far, but if that's what USCIS wants, then so be it (but it seems dumb to me, personally). My husband is hell-bent on it though and I don't care I (I just don't particularly want an RFE) so I expect what you said is what we'll do.

On my wife's I-751, I put ONLY a previous address in Part 11......I did NOT list all addresses or our current address.  We have not received an RFE........

I don't think it's necessary at all. And further, I think it looks odd/confusing too. Like saying you still live in the house you moved out of. If I was reading that I would think 'what are they on about?'.

It’s my comprehension of the specific instructions ( list of all addresses) without over thinking ->it's not like they won't know where we live now, it's listed right at the beginning of the form! Surely 'additional info' means 'additional' or why use the word 'additional'!

And furthermore they will see a date by your current address to know how long you’ve been there and they don’t have to flip back 9 pages to review that address.

 

I don’t think either way is a deal breaker or worth arguing over.

Agree 100%.......I don't think either method would cause an issue......

Aye. Many thanks to both of you. We've put both addresses on - my husband's view is it 'can't hurt' and that's what he wants.

 

And I just want it done/over with. Next stop - Fedex.

 

Thanks again. 🙂

It will be fine........I hope your local office is faster than ours here in the Dallas area.  We filed my wife's I-751 in March 2019.......still waiting for an interview....

[TriloByte 1,818]

^ Thanks! 🙂

 

Yes, I'm ready for that long wait.

 

But I'm OK with it, I put a G-1145 on the top of the stack, once I get that text to say they received it, I'll pretty well forget about it until they contact me again. 

 

We've moved, I need to get around to updating our timeline. We're North Carolina now so it was Phoenix, Arizona. 

 

All the best with your filing/case. 🙂
