US Immigration from Ireland

Hi everyone!

I have my interview for citizenship next month. I am applying based on being married to a US citizen. Does my husband need to go to the interview? The letter doesn t say either way.
Thanks so much!

Hi there. Hoping for a gut check and guidance from this lovely forum.

Husband makes significantly more than the minimum needed for the financial support requirements on the 1-864.

However, he hasn t filled his 2022 taxes yet as our accountant told us to wait until I moved to the US and got my SSN to filed jointly (we don t owe anything so no penalties). We filed for an extension for the 2022 taxes.

We uploaded our 1-864 in July 2023 and the following:

- his tax returns for 2021, 2020, 2019

- 2022 w2

- several paycheques

- extension for taxes

- letter of explanation on the tax extension

- letter of employment.

We were then told his income was insufficient and a joint sponsor or further evident may be needed before my interview.

My interview is in the next 12 days.

We received an email from the embassy asking for his recent W2 and taxes. IRS efiling doesn t open until after 5 days after my interview and his job won t/can t issue a w2 for 2023 in time for the interview.

My question:

His father has offered to be our joint sponsor. He has all his tax transcripts from 22, 21, 20 and makes enough.

We plan to upload a joint sponsorship 1-864 this weekend and also provide new financial documentation like recent pay stubs, a letter of employment for 2023, our investment accounts etc. as well as a letter from our Accountant explaining the reason why they advised us to wait until now and a letter of intent to file as soon as efiling opens.

Will the joint sponsor and additional documentation be sufficient for the financial support side? Is there anything else I should bring/expect at the interview?

Hi Folks, as anyone on the forum with priority dates in September 2022 received any notification to file there paperwork in reference to the latest visa bulletins.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

My husband and I are in the very early stages of our Immigration journey. He is a US Citizen that has been resident in Ireland, where I am from, since 2017. He was on an Irish student visa for 4 years, 2017- 2020 and then he was on a Graduate visa for 2 years. We got married in Ireland in March this year and he was just approved for an Irish residency permit for one year.

We are now planning to relocate to the USA and he is enrolling in a Masters program, starting in June. To try to shorten the amount of time we will be apart, we want to file the petition for the CR-1 Visa as soon as possible but we are concerned about him proving his domicile at time time of filing, even though he will be living in the USA from June 2024.

Does anybody have any advice on proving domicile from outside the USA?

Thank you in advance!
