[ankanj 0]

my husband had is interview in mumbai consulate and 221g was given with need for following additional doc. I am a uscitizen and had been living in India with my husband since marriage for abt 9 months.

1. proof of domicile: I had already submited a copy of my bank acc and copy of my us driver lisence showing my permanent residence address. they have asked for copy of electricity bills. i live on rent with my dad and so dont get it on my name. so what else can i submit?

2. joint sponsor: i had already given 1 joint sponsor and a household membeer and they still require more. i have not been earning since i was in India. they require i-864 for joint sponsor and i-864a signed between sponsor and houshold member. and copy of bank acc statement for joint sponsor. could it be because we didnt mention any assets or cash while filing the earlier 1-864?? and can a person who has already sponsored 2 people be a joint sponsor for me and how to calculate the income requirement?

First of all... To establish domicile, you need to go back to US and find a job. Examples for proof of domicile is but not limited to: Voter registration; Bank statements; if you found a job, employment letter; and a permanent address in US or any proof that you could think that you live and will be staying in US already for good.

The only people that are exempted of the Domicile requirement for petition are miltary who are working in other countries or other government employees that are outside US to serve his/her country or if you live in a territory of the United States.

A co-sponsor needs to meet federal poverty guideline on its own but if he/she doesn't. A household member can sign I-864A in order for them to combine thier income and hopefully meet the poverty guideline. A household member is somebody that is also living in the same Household or address in order for them to qualify to sign form I-864A.

If your co-sponsor can qualify by it's own, a form I-864A is not necessary..

Note: You could have left India and went back to US already weeks after your petition was filed. In this way, by the time the interview come, you already have established domicile in US.

I hope this helps.
