Upcoming Interview Jitters

[jv86 1]

Hi all,

My wife's visa interview is coming up in a few weeks and we were required to submit all of our documents 1-2 weeks in advance (new system i guess at the Embassy in Jordan). I went today and handed everything in, everything was going smoothly until i handed over proof of domicile. I handed everything over and was asked how long I had been in Jordan, i stated 6 years and staff member kind of smiled and said, "i'll take those" as he took the documents I had for proof of domicile as if to say 6 years is a long time and good luck proving domicile. I had many documents and copies including what i mentioned in a previous post such as valid driver's license, student loan statement, bank statement, voter registration, car title and insurance card.

I have been living in Jordan for 6 years, initially to study and gain some international work experience. So I studied for 1.5 years and worked for another approx. 2 years. When my wife and I were discussing the particulars of marriage and the visa, we agreed to stay in Jordan for 1-2 years to let her finish gaining the 5 years of work experience she wanted as well as to adjust to married life rather than immediately leaving her family and finding herself in a new culture. Thus we married in 2013 and started the visa process in the middle of 2015 when my last work contract ended.

After today's experience handing in the documents, perhaps i'm overthinking, but I'm worried that her visa might be denied on account of my lack of proof of domicile / intent to re-establish domicile. I'm hoping during the interview she has the opportunity to explain the agreement to remain in country for some time which makes the 6 years abroad understandable. I'm also trying to think of additional documents I may be able to bring to the interview.

If anyone has any advice or anything that may calm my nerves a bit (i'm not even being interviewed!) it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks as always.

Thank you for the reply. There aren't any job offers at the moment as I haven't applied to anywhere and didn't want to make promises about when I'd be there without knowing if my wife's visa would be approved. Since we will be staying with my parents, perhaps a letter from them stating so will suffice? I can discuss with them about an agreement to pay rent or share of utitilites.
