Petitioner going to US to work etc.ahead of spouse IR-1

[brandviolet 0]

Thanks once again for such support here!

I am a US citizen sponsoring my British wife in London. We are moving back to the US. We are now just awaiting for my wife's interview.

The way life has turned out, I plan to fly to the US to complete a house purchase and start a new job BEFORE my spouse has her interview. We are renting a place until she gets her visa.

What is the best way to deal with this? We have a UK residence. We will also now have a US residence, and will be using the US employment for the I-864.

Will they care? Will it cause any issues?

Thanks

Actually, you having moved is a good thing, it shows definite intent to live in the US,and the US based income will help too.

Agreed, makes things easier on you two with you already being back in the States. No real need to show proof of US domicile except maybe just a photocopy of an entry stamp in your passport from the US port of entry you can request there as proof of having entered the country. Don't even think that'd be necessary though.
