Hey group. 🙂

If you would put in your  profile the visa, it will be easier to get answers appropriate to your situation.

You appear to live in the U.K. with a British spouse. You must provide an I-864 affidavit of support as the sponsor.

 

Part of the requirement for an I-864 being accepted is that the sponsor must reside in the US. You don't. If you can show your address in the UK is of a temporary nature and you still have a home or other domicile in the US (bank account, driver license, voter, etc) then all is okay. The work around is showing intent to restablish domicile. Or you can move back before your spouse's interview and find a place to live, a job, open a bank account, etc. 

 

London has never been very strict on the domicile. They have been okay with "intent to restablish domicile" as shown by things like giving notice at work, listing UK house for sale, notice to landlord, simply making inquiries (email) with an apartment locator, job recruiter, or a school for the children, affidavit from parents you have plans to live with....

 

i hope you have file US tax returns while in the UK. Latest US return is mandatory with your I-864.

Hiya, it’s CR1. 

 

My husband lives in the USA and has been there forever. He has never lived in the UK. 

 

I have his tax transcripts and W2. 

 

I didnt think I needed any proof off him only the tax info. But this guy on Facebook is telling me I do 🤷🏼‍♀️

No you are fine since his tax return transcripts and pay stubs show he is living and working in the USA.

If he lives in the USA, then he is fine. They know he lives there. No proof needed.
