Applying when U.S sponsor and beneficiary are abroad

[ChelseaPresutti 7]

Hi,

My husband and I have been married 8 years - with our two U.S/Aus citizen children.  The first visa approved (fiance visa)  i moved from Australia to the U.S whilst he was in the navy.  We spent 3 years in the U.S and then decided to live in Australia.  We have been here for approx 3 years.  I abandoned (I 407) my conditional green card after we left the states.

 

I am looking to file I 130 as we would like to return.

 

From what I can gather by searching domicile is my husband needs to prove we have the means and want to go back to recommence a permanent life in the U.S.  Do I just file the I 130 form or are there others that I need to file at the same time? 

 

Has anyone else been through a similar experience and could give me some advise or tags to search 🙂

 

Thank you.

All starts with the I130.  Visa application and affidavit of support comes after petition approval

File the I -130.  When it gets to the NVC they may ask about his intention to re-establish domicile.   You have plenty of time to figure that out in the meantime.

I-130 + I-130A + required documents.  I recommend filing online -- https://www.uscis.gov/i-130

Sorry to piggyback this.

 

On the online i-130 form, it asks for "Where in the United States does the beneficiary intend to live?"

 

How would a couple who are both living abroad go about answering this if neither party has property in the USA?
