Hi guys,

 

I would need an advice from you guys about my CR1 DCF in Thailand. I'm an American citizen and try to bring my husband to US.

 

After summited all the documents, the consular said that I need the prove of domicile so I move back to USA. I was living in Thailand for the past 3 years. Now it's my 3rd weeks that I moved back to US.

 

Since I got back, I showed the consular that the lease on an apartment. I registered the vote. I transfer my driver license to the State that I moved to. I showed that I brought extra funds over and open a new bank account. I also show that I got 3 credit cards from 2 different companies. Since we have a co-sponsor, do I need to show that I have a job and also my income?

 

Thank you so much!!!!

hi

 

yes, you must submit an i864 as you are the primary sponsor, the other person is your joint sponsor

 

if you weren't required to file taxes overseas, you will have to attach a letter explaining why

If you're currently unemployed, it's not an issue if you have a co-sponsor to cover everything. Just write a letter explaining your situation and why you haven't filed taxes. Looks like you have a lot of evidence for proof of domicile so that shouldn't be an issue.

Thank you so much for your reply. Even though we have a co-sponsor, I still need to show prove of employment? Also my pay stub?

Thank you so much for your advice!!!

 

More evidence that I didn't submit including the car that I just brought. Also I just received my driver license because I  transfered my driver license so I've shown them a temporary one.

 

I've filled all my taxes even though I didn't have any income for the past 3 years. The only thing that I didn't do is write a letter explaining why I didn't have a job however I just moved back about 3 weeks when I submit all the paperwork.

 

Right now we're waiting for the answer. Please advise if anything else  that we can do ? Thank you so much once again!!!
