Petitioner and Beneficiary living together overseas

[NepaliDreamer 8]

Roosha,

I think if you had a family member go to the school for you it could get done. Just explain your situation and ask what you can do to make it happen. I sent in our children's grades and immunization records plus their SSA numbers. If you have social security number for your son, I don't see why you couldn't fill out a school registration form? Maybe each state has it's own requirements.

How did you manage to register your kids? I'm jealous, our county won't register my son until we're physically there

I agree about the DCF, I've been overseas for the past 8 years, it just makes more sense for the embassy here to process my case, they "know" us better anyway with all the paperwork and procedures (passport renewals, CRBA, etc) I've had to do through them!

Each COUNTY has it's own rules, it's crazy. And yes, I contacted them and everything, they were very nice about it and sent me all the information I need but they can't register him in school b/c he's coming from overseas so we have to actually go to the registration office in order to have him tested and blah blah. Eh, it's ok, I was just hoping to have that as a bit more proof for domicile. I included all the emails back and forth between the registrar and I so hopefully it should be ok.

Good Luck!

Even though my mother lives in the town and we lived there up until last summer, they still require us to go in person.

They didn't want to test my daughter, but she does need a complete physical done in America and my mother needs to give the district a notarized affidavit that we are living with her. In CT at least, each town has different rules.

hey everyone I am the beneficiary and the petitioner lives with me overseas, just thought I would post my timeline. I was completely clueless as to the whole procedure until I read information on visajourney! It has helped me every step of the way!
