A: In completing the DS-260 application for your grandchild, it's important to provide the most accurate and current information. When it comes to the address of your grandchild's mother, consider the nature of her stay in another country. If her work abroad is temporary and she maintains a permanent residence in her home country, you should list her home country address.

However, if she has relocated for an extended period and her stay is not just for a short-term assignment, then it would be appropriate to use the address where she is currently residing for her work. This approach ensures that the application reflects the true and current living situation, which is crucial for any immigration-related process. Remember, honesty and accuracy are key in filling out such forms.
