My wife who came over on a K1 Visa is applying for her AOS, and I am the sponsor but don't meet the income requirements so I am having someone else as a joint sponsor. When and if we get confirmation for our interview, does the joint sponsor also need to attend?

Re-establishing a US domicile - but we live overseas!

We are awaiting USCIS approval since Oct 2022. The I-864 FAQ says:

"A sponsor who is not currently living in the United States may meet the domicile requirement if he can submit evidence to establish that ... the sponsor intends in GOOD FAITH to establish his domicile in the United States no later than the date of the intending immigrant s admission to the United States."

AND

"He has taken CONCRETE STEPS to establish a domicile in the United States and will do so concurrently with the applicant no later than the date of the intending immigrant s admission."

Once I have my visa, we would naturally like to travel together and find an apartment when we arrive in the US.

QUESTION: What will be considered sufficient evidence that we intend to follow this path in GOOD FAITH, and what CONCRETE STEPS do we need to show to fulfill the domicile requirements?

We worry that we won't be able to provide the data the NVC officers are looking for.

The alternative would be a hardship for us: for my husband to move to the US before the NVC submission, and pay rent there living alone, while I continue to maintain housing expenses overseas. Since we estimate at least 4-5 months before I arrive, that is $5000 extra just for US rent, utilities, etc.!

MORE INFORMATION:

Since our marriage in 2016, my husband has lived with me in Vietnam. Even so, he has maintained his domicile by:

1. Paying the US state and local taxes

2. Maintaining his bank account in the US.

3. Using his aunt s permanent address, and a US virtual mailing address (since he sold his house in the US in 2020)

4. Having his private doctor

5. Having renewed his US. driver s license

6. Writing emails to his friends about our upcoming US return when I am issued a visa.

7. Visiting his aunt in the US every year, except for the period of COVID-19 lockdowns

He also composed a letter mentioning that he has a concrete strategy to establish a domicile.

He said that when we arrive in the US., we will stay in his aunt s house temporarily while searching for an apartment.

Thanks for reading and helping me with this issue!

Passport expiration and Interview

Hello

I am hoping to get some feedback. Embassy is Vietnam

We are on a 221g issued in Oct 24th 2022. It has been hectic 2023 so far and had to reschedule 221g appointment a few times do to work obligations and financial constraints to travel.

Now our appointment is scheduled for June 5th and it has slipped by us about the Passport expiry. That is Sept. Arggg I know.

In the stresses of getting ready it got by us.

I would like some advice.

My thinking is that still keep the appointment and expect another blue slip requesting to send in the new passport when she gets it for stamping.

Should she apply for renewal now? I don't know if in Vietnam they take the passport. I know in the US they do.

Is it better for her to renew after interview or before? Will they even let her in the building without the current passport?

Thanks for any input

Hi everyone, we're submitting the N-400 for my wife based on the 3 year rule. Her I-751 is currently pending and I wonder what evidence we will need to submit for N-400 application. I'm thinking of ONLY submitting evidence since the I-751 submission, should I include evidence before I-751 also?

Below is our list:

Attachment of expired green card

Marriage certificate

3 years tax return

Property taxes

Car insurance

Home insurance

Health insurance

Sample utility bills

Sample bank statements

Thanks!

Are you required to submit your W2 with your I-864 when filing for AOS? (merged)

My wife is filing for her AOS, and I will be the sponsor on the I-864 and my mother will be household member/joint sponsor on the I-864A. As the ones filling out the I-864/I-864A forms, are we required to submit W2's, or are the most recent tax transcripts of the past 3 years sufficient?
