Montreal Interview - i864 - joint sponsor - US Docimile

[corrheag 2]

Hi Everyone,

 

You guys all helped us when I posted about proving US Docimile to the officer at the US Consulate in Montreal. My spouse the petitioner, the US Citizen, is currently here with me and our child in Canada with intention to return to the US once my permanent resident visa is approved. 

 

We have decided to have a joint financial sponsor.

 

I understand what the joint sponsor needs to provide (864i, most recent tax return or transcript, proof of US citizenship or LPR status).

 

I understand what documents i need to bring to my interview. I will submit everything that was approved by the NVC, but my question is: since the 864i submitted and approved by the NVC was when my spouse was still in the US, and they are currently here, should i simply bring a letter from my spouse explaining intention to return once my visa is approved?

 

Docs already approved by NVC

- 864i 

- bank statements 

- Voting registration

- state ID card with US address 

 

Or perhaps I don't need to bring a letter and instead the original 864i along with the joint sponsor's documents explaining that we will return as soon as I am approved?

 

My spouse has not been out of the US for two years.

 

Thank you!

You need to bring, to the interview,  everything you can to show your spouse is domiciled in the US.  NVC does not approve domicile.  Only the consulate officer can do that.  Montreal is notorious for wanting very solid proof of domicile or proof of establish domicile in the US.  Perhaps other members can advise you.
