My wife and I have 2 addresses. Is that a problem for N-400?

My wife has moved to another state for her work. She has a different address, but she comes to my home every weekend. In my N-400 application, should I write her new address or my address? Our primary home is my address.

Thanks

I would say if your primary home is your address I would put that address. However I have one question. Are you both naturalizing or just you? If it is just you I would probably do that. If she's naturalizing too there could be issues of which district she belongs for naturalization purposes. Other question (no need to answer, just for you to think) is that if you got your green card through marriage and you're applying for naturalization under the 3 years rule you might get asked about your marriage and have to explain not living together. Other than that I would say if only you are applying and it is a straightforward case as you put it I would just put your address as also her address. This is not legal advice or anything like it, just my opinion.

My 2 cents.
 
Thank you for the response. My wife got her green card through me. I'm applying after 5yrs with my green card. I'm mailing my application first, she might apply after some time.
 
Then, personally I don't see any issue. I think you're fine by writing your address as her address.
 
The only issue would be that you got your Green Card through your wife and that's what your naturalization was based on. Since your's is based on 5 years (work Green Card), then your wife has no bearing on your application at all.

Now in the future if she is still living away in another state and she is going for her Naturalization (which is based off yours) then that might be an issue in regards to her naturalization. But as for you, there's nothing to worry about...
