Hi everybody and thank you in advance for your time and input!
My spouse and I are currently preparing to file I-130 and I-485. I am on a B-2 tourist visa and I arrived in the U.S. in the middle of August with the intend to visit, but things changed and we decided to get married in the end of November after I finish my thesis, as it turned out I will not need to defend it back in Europe. Our case is pretty straight forward and we decided to prepare all documents without the assistance of a lawyer. However, we have two quesions and they are both related to addresses we should fill in.
1. Since I arrived here in August I have been living with my spouse in his rented apartment. Part 2 of I-485 asks for my...well "address" (no specification whatsoever). Should I report my foreign address (whichprobably still countrs as my residency) or should I fill in my physcial/mailing address, which is my spouse's address in the US?
2. In I-130 question 21 asks about the last address at which we lived together. Same problem here! Since I am visiting...Does this count as "living together"? We have prepared an additional explanation page to attach to the I-130 regarding question 21, but I am not even sure if someone will read it.
Thank you so much! Looking forward to your answers

Thank you guys so much for your quick responses Yeah, nothing was pre-planned. We just realized how awesome actually living together is and how much distance sucks, so I rejected a job offer from back home and decided to stay here! I agree that there is nothing to worry about, I just don't want the whole process to be slowed down because of any mistakes/gaps in addresses.
So you think we should state that we have been living together since I entered the country. I guess it makes sense and you are 100% right. I have read that it is not your residency unless you have lived there for 6 months and have official documents stating that you have changed an address. That's what made it a little confusing.
