Hey guys/Saylin... I need some advice. I have been in Canada with my husband (whom I'm sponsoring) and our three children. We are trying to decide whether the kids and I should return to Florida before his interview to prove domicile. I currently have the following to prove it without being in Florida for the interview
-storage unit receipts and history from last summer when I put all of our personal belongings in storage
-bank account statements and credit card statements
-voter registration/ maintained florida drivers license
-application to extend temporary visitor status in Canada
-letter from previous employer and boss stating their confidence and belief in my ability to obtain a job earning a minimum starting salary of $45000
-current vehicle registration in florida
-social security statement
-report of us citizen birth abroad for our daughter born in canada last summer
-statement from mother stating we are more than welcome to stay with her for as long as needed to ind a suitable rental or purchase a home
- emails from schools for registration of our children
-former auto insurance emailed quote

Just curious if anyone can tell me if this will be enough or if I physically need to go back to the states with our children before the interview in Montreal. I don't know if this matters, but we do have a joint sponsor. Thanks!

We sent in the same if not less evidence than that and we did not receive a RFE. So no, I don't think going back to Florida before is necessary. Here's a link to a sample letter that many people. including myself, have used (post #10):

From what I've gathered on here, a job offer, lease, and registering the kids in school hold the most weight. I would get a free lease template off the internet, fill that out and have your mom sign it. A lot more official than a letter and it's apparently what they like to see. :)
