Case at NVC. AOS & IV Fees paid yesterday. Living abroad in Vietnam with spouse and child.
I'm putting together a letter and a bunch of documents showing proof of my intent to reestablish domicile.
Although I've maintained a driver's license, bank accounts, credit cards, voter registration, filed tax returns and all that, I'm putting together some documents to show I'm serious about moving back:
- Auto insurance quotes
- A print out of cars I'm interested in buying along with their Kelley Blue Book values
- Email confirmation that I opened a new healthcare.gov account
- Shipping estimates for sending possessions to the U.S. (along with excess baggage fee schedules from airlines if I choose to go that route instead)
- Brief email exchanges with daycare centers for the little one
- Print outs of a few apartment rental choices (with monthly rent, floor plans, amenities, etc) in the locations we want to live
There may be a couple of potential weaknesses, though:
1. I'm not applying for jobs because I have my own business (and I have the papers to back it up, too).
2. I haven't made an 'official' agreement to rent from either my mother or sister, because I see it as an informal "stay at your place until we find our own" thing. We're also considering staying with my mom for a few months first (so she could get her baby time in with my daughter, they haven't had a chance to meet each other because of covid)... and THEN move to Texas where my domicile is going to be.
Despite this, would the documents I already have be good enough to "reestablish" domicile in the eyes of NVC and consulate?
