Hi all, some advice would be greatly appreciated. I am in the process of extending my J1 visa and am having issues with the wording of the DS158.

Question 4 asks for a permanent home address, is this the address I live at in the US, or should I put my parents address back in England where I used to live.

And similarly, question 7 asks for two contacts in my country of residence. Should this be two Americans, or two brits.

I have tried google and these forums and no one seems to have had this problem (or they are not as dumb as me about filling in forms).

There is also a simlar question on the DS156, Question 15, my home address should I put down where I live in the US or my parents address in the UK?

Or go with plan B and take along two versions, one with US address and contacts, and one with UK address and contacts?

Anyway thanks for your help and it is three weeks until my xmas trip home and the visit to the embassy. I don't know why this feels so stressful, there is something about the visit to get the visa that is unnerving!

The J-1 is a "non-immigrant" visa. You do not have a permanent address in the US.
