What do I put for my address I-864 living overseas. But will be moving back to the USA.

[Confusedtinybird 41]

Hello,

Thanks everyone for the help I gotten so far!

I am living overseas and will be filing DCF in South Africa.

Part 4 of form I-864 it says: Information on the Sponser:

Would I put my address in South Africa? Or my address in the USA? It's For Mailing Address and Place of Residence.

Does it matter? I would like everything to go to the USA. But, I don't know if it matters if you do DCF.

When we move to the USA I don't want to miss any forms that is why I am worried about the address.

Thank you!!

You should put your address in the USA, unless you have a joint-sponsor, as you need to show domicile if you're the sole financial sponsor. Take a look at this: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3183.html#3 (it just happened to be in my clipboard from a similar query from someone in the UK).

We filed DCF in Mexico and I put my Mexican address as my residence but my US address as my mailing address as well as the US as my country of domicile. In order to file DCF here, I needed to demonstrate that I am a resident of Mexico and am residing here with my husband, so that's why Mexico is my place of residence. But, in order to sponsor him, I needed to demonstrate that I have maintained domicile in the US so included evidence showing I am still domiciled in the US. Good luck!!

Hi jenyadenise,

I might do that. Will contact the Embassy in South Africa and see what they say. I know each country has their own DCF rules, so I am confused on what S.A. wants.

You're right... the process in every country is different... Hope that the embassy can give you clear guidance or that a VJer who has done DCF in SA can provide some insight. Best wishes!

Thanks! I got an e-mail with guidelines from S.A., and the form required but still have questions on this one.

I put my Indian address (Filed DCF in india) in the I-864, along with documents to prove "intent to re establish domicile in the US". The joint sponsor put their US address and details. Since we're filing DCF we have to be abroad, and it is not necessary to be domiciled in the US to file the I 864 IF you can prove that you intend to establish domicile in the US.

Thanks Janani,

I guess I am always wondering how they will know what address to send the Green Card too? Is there a form where I can put my adress so I can be sure it arrives in the mail?

The DS-230 Part 1 in the first section asks which address to use for mailing the green card to.

Thank you lost at sea!

I looked at you timeline wow! I can't believe how fast DCF went for you in London!

Thanks. We're pretty shocked too! I'm in a constant state of worry about our upcoming interview now, though. I will be so glad when it's done and I can stop stressing.

Good luck!

I was the one on lost_at_sea's timeline with the similar question

Has my interview yesterday, and on my wife's I-864 (she's the USC), we put residence and domicile in the UK (that's where we live now), and mailing address her parents in the US - just to prove that she kept an address in the US.

We had a joint sponsor, form I-864A, who lives in the US and they are sending the GC over to that address.
