  • Question: I travel 100%. Which residential address should I be using for AOS?

    Hi all,

    My situation:
    I am currently in the US on an L1-B, expires in 2018. I recently married my wife - a US citizen. It seems like I should be eligible to apply for AOS while I'm here.

    The tough part:
    I am an internal consultant and travel constantly - 100% travel (hotels, short-stay apartments etc.). My real permanent address, as far as my company is concerned, is outside the US, and I go back every couple months. In the past 2 years I have "lived" temporarily in 7 different locations for at least 1 month, but never more than 4-5 months. My wife resides permanently in the US (Colorado) and we've "lived together" in various locations, from a few days up to a month at a time, over the past couple of years.

    I cannot say for certain where I will be living in 3-4 months - it will be in the USA, but depending on the nature of the project I'm on, it could be in any state. As a non-resident alien, the "address" section on these forms seems weird given that by definition I don't actually reside in the USA.

    My question:
    Should I use her address on all forms that I submit? I visit her usually once a month. This would avoid me having to constantly submit the Change of Address to USCIS. I would always be able to come to Colorado for any appointments / interviews etc. and this is where I plan to reside once I have the Greencard - although I'd still be travelling 100% until I finally get a different job.

    Specifically:
    I-130:
    Part C, Question 2 - I'm about to move into a hotel ... wouldn't it make sense to just use her address?
    Part C, Question 19 - Since this is L1-B to GC ... should I put N/A or None ... or my actual address back home?
    Part C, Question 21 - We've never lived together officially, just long visits... so i'm just saying that?
    Part C, Question 22 - I put Denver, CO

    I-485:
    Part 1 - I put her address and c/o in her name

    I-325A:
    Addresses past 5 years - Is my present address her address in the US, or my address outside the US, or the hotel I'm going to stay in?
    I also have never been at her address for a full month ... I'll list it here anyway

    I-864:
    Part 2, Mailing address - I use her mailing address in the US?

    I-693:
    Part 1, Home address - Do I use her address in the US or my address outside the US?

    Thanks in advance for anyone that can give guidance on this!

    If anyone has a similar question - the really helpful lawyers over at Avvo responded with some answers.

    In short, it's more about common sense and what I would consider a permanent location / intention versus actual time spent. I'll be using my wife's address for my location and explain in the interview that I am frequently required by work to travel to temporary locations.

    If anyone has another opinion, would love to hear it!

    Thanks
