CR-1 Sanity check

My Head is spinning trying to find specific answers to specific questions.

 

My Wife is my Petitioner and she has resided in the US all her life and we are at the stage of collecting all of our Documents to submit to NVC.

We are completing for I-864EZ as I am the only person who is emigrating from the UK .

I have collected all of my documents for section 2 of the "Document Cover Sheet"

Section 3 Signed affidavit of Support (I-864EZ)

It asks for Proof of Domicile, I assume the Petitioner can supply a utility bill, phone bill, credit card statement or car loan?

I was going to tick Proof of relationship and Other supporting documents as "Not Applicable" too.

 

Assuming all is ok I would need to produce the originals at my VISA Interview as she wouldn't need to attend with me.

 

am I off track on this, it's the proof of domicile that has my bugged and most answers seemed to point to US sponsors living outside the US?

If she has been living in the US, no need to submit anything. That proof of domicile is for petitioners  who live abroad temporarily.

Assuming both her mailing and physical addresses are in the US, it's "Not Applicable". The I-864 instructions say "If your mailing address and/or place of residence is not in the United States, but your country of domicile is the United States, you must attach a typed or printed explanation and documentary evidence indicating how you meet the domicile requirement".

Yup, that's good.

You should have originals of everything submitted (including the signed I-864 itself).

Don't sweat it - domicile is only an issue for sponsors living outside the US.

Not applicable to you.

Clarification:

  • Proof of US Status (only If you completed I-864 as a joint sponsor) 
  • Proof of Domicile (only if you completed I-864, I-864A, or I-864EZ and mailing address/place of residence is not in the United States, but country of domicile is the United States). 
  • Petitioner’s Civil Documents (Petitioner’s Birth certificate, required only if applying for IR5 /F4 visa) 
  • Proof of Relationship (only required for relationship to sponsor if I-864A was filed) NA

Hopefully one last question.

I emailled the NVC to confirm they had recieved my submitted documents and in an email I was given a Priority date of November the 7th.

I'm trying to understand what this means, does this mean I should expect a visa interview before this date?

Or is it just an aspirational date of when I could have it by but it could also be after that date and there are no consequences if I still haven't had an interview by this date.

In other words, just sit tight and wait for the interview.

 

Thanks in advance
