I-134 question - residing in the US

[Rufus2012 175]

I've searched the forums, and have seen inconsistent replies to this question, perhaps someone has a more definitive, recent answer.

Question 2 on the I-134 asks "I am X years of age and have resided in the United States since _______"

I was born in the US, but grew up in Canada (I never had actual residence here until I was an adult, as my mother gave birth on a visit and went back home after a few weeks when I could travel).

Should I use the date I last moved to the US, as my reading of the question suggests (#5 below), or should I use my date of birth as a 3 year old reply to a similar (but not identical) question suggests?

In case it makes it clearer, here's the basic timeline

1) Birthday - in USA

2) Birthday + several weeks - go to Canada

3) ~22 years old - move to USA

4) ~29 years old - move to Canada for about a year

5) ~31 years old - move to USA

One of the requirements for an affidavit of support is that you must currently be domiciled in the US. The question is asking when your current period of domicile in the US began. From what you've said, you've lived here since you were 31 years old. Give the date you moved back to the US.

Thanks for your reply, Jim.

1)I am peruvian and can my sister who is already an american citizen be my sponsor for my K1 visa?

2) If she can, in the question 2 on the I 134 about how many years she has resided in the USA , does this start since the day she got her green card or since the day she became an american citizen?
