Petitioner (USC) living abroad for more than a year

[Ankitc 0]

Hello,

My interview is scheduled on August 30. My wife ( petitioner )is a US citizen and she is living with me in India since last 14 months

Can that cause any problem at the interview ?

She is also the principle sponsor and has filled Federal tax return for last three years 2010,2009 and 2008.

Thanks

nope no problems - I don't believe Inida is as strict as Canada on domicile. If you were in Canada then yes, it would be a problem

Someone will correct me if I am wrong

Good luck

Think should not be problem, the only thing they might want to know is whose address you are using in US and whose tax return you are using for 2010, if your wife was in India.

This might not be an issue.

Didn't he write stating that his wife filed tax returns for 2010! It is possible to work from India and get paid in US. I don't see any issue - in fact the fact that they are living together gives their case more strength.

Hello Harsh,

My wife came to India in May 2010 and she has worked for 5 months in USA and as I mentioned she filled 2010 tax return.

My father in law is the joint sponsor and They live at the same address in US.

Thank you NavyK.
