Hi everyone. i'm the petitioner for my parents' IV case. i have been living in pakistan continuously since june 2011 because my parents live here and they wanted me to attend medical school here. anyway i'm beginning to worry that the consular officer at the embassy will feel that i am not a suitable sponsor for my parents because of the vague domicile requirement. my purpose for living in a foreign country is just to attend medical school and go back home to the United States as soon as i'm done. even my admission into the medical school was through the foreign/overseas student basis. should i submit proof about this? my parents' interview date is in 3 weeks. could someone shed some light on my concern?

Hi,

You being in Pakistan is not the problem.

Family based immigration is about reuniting family in the US. In order to give visas to your parents, the U.S. embassy requires you to have a US domicile (resident). You must have proof that your parents are coming to the U.S. to reunite with you.

Pakistan does not matter. You need to show either a U.S. resident or the intention to reestablish one.

Best of luck

I'm stuck in Pakistan for a couple more years cuz of med school. I think the fact that I'm sponsoring my parents to return to the u.s is a very clear intention that I will also return to the u.s to reestablish my domicile once I wrap things up over here. What do you think?

If you are not returning to the US for a few years, then petition for them then.

No US domicile for you = no visas for your parents.

Sponsoring your parents is absolutely no way to prove that you will reestablish a US domicile. The requirement for a domicile is WHEN YOUR PARENTS ENTER THE US AS IMMIGRANTS. The requirement is that you have a US domicile BEFORE they can immigrate or WHEN they immigrate. Not many years after they immigrate.

Okay I understand that I don't have a domicile at the moment. But how will the embassy know this? I don't think they are tracking my movements. My address on file is a united states address. My father needs to go back to the u.s and seek employment so we can't wait for a few more years. My parents were thinking to say that I return to the u.s during my summer holidays.
