I scheduled my EB-5 visa appointment at the U.S. consulate in my home country. However, I realized that I made a mistake with my address on my DS-260 form. The address on the form of my wife is correct. Is this difference of addresses on our forms going to make the visa officer question our marital relationship and cause a problem? How can I change it?

Immigration AttorneysYou have to start off with the premises that you tell the truth. If you and your wife are living at different addresses, you need to explain why. If there is a reasonable explanation and this is a good faith marriage, you should explain it. If there is a mistake, you can ask to reopen the form to correct it or present the correct information at the interview.
