Hi Everyone,
This might seem like a dumb question but I have a concern regarding my address history section. My permanent address is in Lahore, Pakistan. However, I was in US for my studies for 2 years.
So I lived in Virginia, US from 08/01/2018 to 07/26/2019. I went to Chicago on 07/26/2019 to see my family before I leave the US. Although I left the US on 08/01/2019 from Chicago , I reached Pakistan on 08/03/2020 because of the time difference and travel time.
My Police Certificate report from Pakistan mention my period of stay in Pakistan as:
01/02/2015 to 14/08/2017 (Left for US on August 14, 2017)
03/08/2020 to To Date
I understand that I will have a gap of a day (08/02/2019 is not covered) between my police reports of two countries and the addresses, therefore, I will provide a brief explanation in the LOE that this is due to travel and time difference. Should I attach my air tickets or the entry stamp on passport will be sufficient?
My second concern is which address and dates should I mention under my travel history:
First option is to mention the period of Virginia address as 08/01/2018 to 08/31/2019 (The last day when my lease ended). However, will this count as misrepresentation as I left VA on 07/26/2020 for good, so it was no longer my residential address after that. I was not going to return to VA, so I cant consider it as vacation/travel period.
The second option is to mention the period of Virginia address as 08/01/2018 to 07/26/2019. However, there will be a gap pf 7 days in my address history as period of my Pakistan Address will start from 08/03/2019. Should I add my cousin's address, where I was staying for 5 days in Chicago in the address history? Technically, I wasn't living there, as I just went to visit them, OR should I leave the gap of 7 days and add an explanation in the LOE and attach my sir tickets as proof?
I would really appreciate if someone could respond to this.
