it's my understanding that the I-864A COULD NOT APPLY in your case, as you DO NOT have domicile there.

again, this is one them slippery things.

Ya just joined, we have an advanced search tool - and many of those i-864 questions get covered in the NVC forum and the IR-1/CR-1 forums. I'm not an I-864 expert by any means - my I-864 was weird as well.... (No, don't ask - I'll write about it maybe after the interview) ..

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

But isn't Domicile the address where we plan on living in the States?

plan on living. not living.

there's 2 paths here..

1. proof of domicile. You maintained a residency through either outright ownership or paying a lease or

2. proof of re-establishing domicile . You show new lease, new job, letters from parents, etc.

I'm betting you have to choose option 2, for some reason, and NOT option 1.

Canadiens have this problem, and write about it often.

Study the first 4 pages and the last 10 pages at http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/164618-proving-domicile-when-not-living-in-the-us/ nowish.

Yes I know all this BUT what I NEED help with is where on the new I-864 does the US address go and where does our current South Africa address go.

I'm including my payslips along with my wife's and I year to date banking statements showing the deposits from my work.

The IRS doesn't give proof they can only show that I did not file. Its really dumb if you think about it because why would I hind the fact if I were to file. The more money I make the easier it is to support the immigrate right?

But my question is do mark 1.a or 1.d or even 1.e on the new form? Because it clearly shows that I can only be a Petitioner, Sponsor, or a Joint Sponsor but not more then one. So I'm the Petitioner do I still need to enter my financial information even though I have a vary good Sponsor?

To prove that you do not need to file a tax return, you must go to the CFR (Code of Federal Regualtions) or to this site on the IRS and follow it around until you find the information that matches your situation. So I would print out the page and then print out Table 1-1 and then include proof that your gross income does not exceed the requirements. Plus you have no other type of income that the IRS requires you to file a return on.

You are the petitioner, the person you submitted the petition for is the beneficiary and as the petitioner you must include everything for the I-864 you must complete. The US government wants to make certain that the beneficiary is supported by the petitioner and will not become a public charge. To do this they have established guidelines for income in order to qualify. You, as the petitioner, do not qualify. So you ask someone who is willing to be "on-the-hook" for the beneficiary should the petitioner, you, be unable to pay back the government. This person becomes a co-sponsor. You are the main sponsor and in your case, your Mother, is the co-sponsor as your income is below the 125% of the poverty level. The USCIS wants fiancial information from the petitioner even if the petitioner's income is zero and the petitioner has zero income. Plus they want all the proof that the co-sponsor can meet the poverty guideline for their family size plus the beneficiary.

Good luck,

Dave

Yes again I understand all of that.

My question is there is three place that require address information and I'm sure one of them I need to enter our South Africa address.
