Advice needed for I-130 question 12 part 4

[MrsMalka 2]

Please could someone offer any advice on completing question 12 in part 4 - we do not have an address in the USA yet where I (the beneficiary) intend to live..as my husband (USC) lives here in NZ.  He is planning to reestablish a domicile but we do not have a US address yet.  Im not sure we are able to leave the question blank..if I put “same” as the form states then that will be my address here in NZ not a US address. Has anyone here on this forum struggled with this question and completed it successfully?

Hey, I’m a kiwi who was in a similar situation, we had to reestablish domecile. My wife (the USC) had been out of the US for over 10 years. She no longer had US bank accounts, drivers licenses or anything.

 

i don’t have the I-130 handy to confirm the exact question you need help with. For us we put our NZ address for all questions except where we intended to live. For this we put the address of my sister in law in Arizona. You can always attach a further explanation using a supplemental page with detail on your address situation and you plans to re-establish domecile.

 

The burden of proof for re-establishing domecile is higher but it can be done. Let me know if you need the list of what we submitted at each stage.

 

I entered the country three weeks ago and am now setting up a life in Arizona. So I can attest that it’s achievable. It took us 18 months from I-130 submission to a visa in my passport. This was with no issues or RFE’s.

 

Good luck and I’m happy to answer any questions you have.

To be determined is an appropriate answer.

I have requested a mod merge that post with this thread.

It doesn’t matter where you are applying from - the procedure is still the same. Many people are in the same situation with no known address at this stage. You can write “to de determined”. If you know which state it will be, you can add the state but this is not required. 

 

We also had no address at the I-130 stage. My husband was sharing a place with a friend of his and the lease did not permit more than 2 adults in the apartment and we wanted to have our own place anyway so we knew we would not be living there. So we wrote “to be determined, Washington state”. No RFE.

Myself,  I have established domicile before i submitted the i-130 just because of that question.  I did not want anything to be left undone.  We are in no hurry to move, but I just wanted to make sure I leave no questions unanswered.

Completely unnecessary to establish domicile before submitting the I-130.  Good idea to have a plan though.
