I-130 address history

[A.R 0]

I and my wife are newly married and lived together only for few weeks when I visited her. I'm just wondering if i should indicate her address where we lived together among addresses where I lived in the last 5 years.

No.

 

That is, no, unless you actually moved there - moved out of your US home/apt, changed address at work/bank/credit cards/utilities (phone bills).

 

You would enter the address as your wife's address as part of her information.

 

The purpose of your address history is to check that you have residence in the US and to perform a background check on you.

No. Do NOT put that address in Page 2 of I-130.

 

Reminder that she needs to fill-out I-130A Spouse supplement: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-130a.pdf On Page 1 of that supplement she'll provide her address history.

Yes, you will upload it. Eventually it's going to ask you: "For whom are you filing this petition? Select the relationship the beneficiary has to you (e.g., if the beneficiary is your parent, select "Parent")." When you select "Spouse" it says the following:

You selected you are petitioning for a spouse

You will need to upload the Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary (I-130A) as a part of the evidence for this application.

 

 

 

If she is currently outside of the US then she doesn't have to sign it, but it still needs to be uploaded. Later in the Evidence upload section:

Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary (I-130A)

If you are filing for your spouse, he or she must complete and sign Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary (I-130A). If your spouse is overseas, the I-130A must still be completed, but your spouse does not have to sign the I-130A.

Correct.  You visited.  You did not reside at the same address.  It's OK.  Most of the members here never lived with their spouse or fiancee until after they got their visas.  It's just a question, not a requirement.
