How to do a summary of relationships for i130

[Joseph palafox 0]

Hi im new here and where filing for dcf this month although we started last week however we where missing few things like a summary of relationships and my residency. About the residency i gave them my dual certificate and my current phililppines  driver license which my d.l was expired on 2013 and just had renewed this month of February. I need to ask if a rentals agreement that been notarized by a atty would be okie to complete my residency? ive been here in the phililppines since 2001 but went back to the u.s for vacation 2016 to 2017 for ten months. Regarding the summary ofe relationship does anyone know or have a sample on how? Please help we will be back at the u.s embassy in two weeks. Thanks

To show proof of domicile you need a bit more. Here's some suggestions fro the wiki.

 

Domicile

Please note, if the petitioner lives with the beneficiary abroad, you'll need to provide proof of US domicile with the AOS package, as well as bring it with you to the interview. Please read the I-864 instructions (pages 3 and 4) for information about it. This is NOT needed if the petitioner is living in the US. Here is a sample cover letter to include in the package (it lists MANY possible documents, some may not be applicable, of course, to prove that you have, or will re-establish, domicile in the US):

NAME

SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER

Form I-864

Part 4, Question 5: Country of Domicile

I, XXXX, am currently residing in FOREIGN COUNTRY with my spouse, SPOUSE'S NAME. Below you will find a list of attached documents to show that my principal residence is in the US and the steps that I have taken to return to the US with my family.

• XXXX Credit Union statement showing permanent US address

• XXXX Bank statement showing permanent US address

• XXXX drivers license showing permanent US address

• Retirement fund statement showing permanent US address

• Mutual fund statement showing permanent US address

• XXXX license currently up to date

• Renewal of XXXX membership

• County tax bill showing I still own a vehicle

Steps I have taken to return to the US to take up residence:

• Contacted schools for requirements of things to bring to register my children in school

Supporting documents for the above steps I have taken:

• Lease agreement for our house

• Email from schools regarding registration requirements

• Email from my former auto insurance company regarding my inquiry

• Email from XXXX with estimate and correspondence regarding shipping our belongings

I declare that I intend in good faith to re-establish my domicile in the United States no later than the date of spouse's admission into the US.

Just write out a relationship timeline. Dates and a brief word of what happened on that date. You meet, you n text, you called, you got engaged, you fly to them, meet family.

 

RELATIONSHIP TIMELINE 

           Minnie Mouse– Petitioner

           Mickey Mouse - Beneficiary

 

• May, 2008 – Meet (put in names here) on the telephone via an introduction by my close friend, Goofy,

• August, 2008 – Started e-mailing, chatting on Yahoo Messenger and talking on the telephone.

• November, 2008 – Relationship progressing to a serious level. Made trip #1 to Osaka, Japan. Met his family and friends.

• January, 2009 – Mickey proposed marriage over the phone. I accepted. We are officially engaged!

• February, 2009 – I file an I-129F fiancé petition for Mickey in the U.S. on a K1 Visa.  I have kids from my first marriage and we thought it would be considerate to have them meet Mickey prior to marriage and be present at their mother’s wedding, therefore, petitioning for the K1 and not the K3 or CR-1.

• February, 2009 – Trip #2 to Osaka, Japan. Our engagement party!

• May 2009 – I-129F petition approved by the USCIS.

• July 2009 – Mickey’s interview at the U.S. Consulate in Osaka, Japan. Request made by CO for more photos and e-mails.

• August, 2009 – 2^nd interview at the U.S. Consulate in Osaka, Japan. Present many more e-mails phone records and photos documenting our relationship. Mickey’s visa application placed in Administrative Processing status.

• September, 2009 – Trip #3 to Osaka, Japan. Sweet reunion.

• November, 2009 – Request assistance from my Congresswoman – Carolyn McCarthy - to make inquiries on my behalf to the U.S. Consulate in Osaka, Japan regarding Mickey’s lengthy AP.

• December, 2009 – Case remains under Administrative Processing status.

• January, 2010 – I make a request of the U.S. Consulate in Osaka, Japan to meet with the investigator handling our case in hopes of expediting the lengthy AP period. Request granted.

• February 8, 2010 – Fraud investigators from the U.S. Consulate in Osaka, Japan pay a visit to Mickey’s parents house.  His parents confirm that our relationship is genuine and that they support it.

• February 16, 2010 – Trip #4 to Osaka, Japan. Meet with fraud investigators at U.S. Consulate in Osaka, Japan. We are both interviewed separately and asked many questions pertaining to the details of our relationship. We believe all went well.

• March 2, 2010 – Mickey called to return to the U.S. Consulate in Osaka, Japan on March 23^rd (after almost 8 months of Administrative Processing). 

• March 23, 2010 – Mickey’s visa application is denied.  Reason for denial: Investigator did not believe I was committed to marrying Mickey within 90 days of his arrival in the States on the K1 visa. Why? Because at the Feb. 16^th interview with the investigator, I stated that I filed a fiancé petition instead of a marriage petition so that my kids could meet him first before we get married and be in attendance at our wedding. Investigator interpreted my words to mean that I needed to “understudy” my fiancé and that I wasn’t sure about marrying my fiancé.

• April, 2010 – Attempt to overturn denial while case still at the Consulate: Letter sent from my attorney – Marc Ellis – to the U.S. Consulate in Osaka, Japan along with affidavits from friends and family attesting to the fact that my intention was always to marry Mickey as soon as he arrived here on the K1.  Attorney letter and affidavits never acknowledged by Consulate.

• April/May, 2010 – Plan our wedding.

• May 29, 2010 – Trip #5 to Osaka, Japan. 

• June 1, 2010 - Get married!!!!!

• June, 2010 – Upon my return to the U.S., file an I-130 petition for my husband to come join me in the U.S. on a CR-1 visa.

 

 

I, Minnie Mouse, declare under penalty of perjury that the above facts and the above timeline between my husband and me are true and correct.

It's both a relationship timeline makes it easier to follow or you can just write yup like a page how you met and all that just easier to follow when dates pop out and you see what happened on this date.

And this timeline is real.
