My kid is in dorm in the same city and she comes home on weekends. I have given the home address only in her N-400. Should I wrte her dorm address also in that case these address timings will overlap. She never use her dorm address. Even her college letetrs/communications come at home address.

Thanks
 
I am sorry Jackolantern.
I had soem confusion after sending the applications and I thought these questions are unrealated to one another.
I am sorry again.
 
emno, you are probably the most nervous person I have ever seen in my limited time on this forum. Why are you constantly repeating questions that you got some earlier feedback for? My advice is chill out, answer all the questions honestly to the best of your ability and go with the flow. You will have an opportunity to explain anything that the IO needs a clarification for at the time of the interview.

Jackolantern already answered this question for you here: http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?311450-Date-format-in-Employment-and-Addresses
 
Thanks JPBoston, yes Jackolantern answered it and I am thankful to him. but I was not sure if I can give her dorm address also with overlapping timings. Yes, you are right I am a bit nervous. My worry is that if a case just got off path, it goes in loops with uscis. May be that type of suitations are exceptions but I just wanted to be double or more than double sure. This is a great fourm and I feel at home, among my well wishers when I am herte in the forum and I just ask whatever doubts I have. I know it may upset soem serious people who take pain in answering the questions. I understand it.
The thought camne to my mind that I should ahve given both her addresses to be safer side with overlapping timings and I just posted that query.

Part 4 A ask the current home address: Which is my home address and I wrote it in her application and in my application I wrote "With ME" as suggested by Jackolantern

Part 6 A ask the address where you lived in past 5 years.
and she stays in home address and dorm at the same time.

That was the confusin I had in my mind.

It is my mistake that I should have asked this question in the existing thread.

I know I should have some more patience and thanks everyone here.

It's OK and preferable to have all questions for you and your daughter's N-400 be in one thread. Such questions are related because they're all about N-400 for the same two people in the same family. If you separate the questions into a dozen threads people lose the context and background of your situation and may give you misleading answers because they aren't aware of all the facts.

If you have a question on another topic like qualifying for N-470 or filing N-600 for your son, that's something else that can be in its own thread.

Now take a deep breath and RELAX! There is nothing to worry about. Get the N-400 out of your mind until the interview.
 
I think Jackolantern's explanation made perfect sense and so I would just use your home address for your daughter and if the IO asks about it, you just say that she is in a dorm during the semester but it is a temporary address only for the semester. If the IO wants to add it, then just add it then. This is such a non-issue and I think you are over-analyzing everything. Step away from the application and go get yourself a stiff drink (but don't DUI) :)
 
Thanks JPBoston and Jackolantern.

Yes, it makes perfect sense to put all question about a person at one place to have the right prespective and easy for the person who is trying to help me. I got it now and will follow.

You made my day Jackolantern by saying RELEX!. Thanks. I wil try to.

Emno: You got it right. Don't worry about it. Normally, for a child out to college, you use their home address.
I too have college children, and I list them at my home address, so you got it right....and you don't need to
be apoligizing...the purpose of the forum for confused people to get answers, and there is no obligation to
anyone to respond...

Thanks Faysal. I appriciate your kind note. Now should she mention in the interview that she stays in dorm and comes home on weekends and/or take new address page with home address/dorm address times overlapping?
thanks
 
Since the N-400 asks for places of study, the interviewer will see she is a student and may ask about the dorm arrangement. But she doesn't need to voluntarily say anything about the dorms, nor does she need to list the dorm address unless specifically asked about it. No need to take any extra address page; she can just give a verbal explanation if asked and it won't be a problem -- the interviewer will just write a note on the application if they care about it (and they almost surely won't care). By default, for almost every legal purpose (taxes, driver's license, voting, immigration) the residential address for full-time college students living on campus and being supported by their parents is considered to be their parent's address unless the student takes action to claim otherwise.
