US Immigration from Vietnam

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?

After uploading to Form I-864 I noticed some mistakes. The site will not allow to upload again. How to resolve?

Thanks

Hello All,

I'm helping my uncle in Vietnam doing the immigration paperwork here. After his divorce in Vietnam, the older daughter lives with him, and the younger daughter lives with his ex-wife. A few years later, his ex-wife family sponsored 3 people (his ex-wife, the two daughters) to come to reside in the US. Now both daughters have become US citizen with new names. I guess it doesn't matter which daughter is doing the paperwork to sponsor the Dad (my uncle). But I'm posting the question for inputs from you gurus. Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone,

My now wife's name is Ngan (first) Bao (Middle) D____ (Last), but the US Embassy in Vietnam filed her name for the K1 visa as Bao Ngan (whole given name) D____ (last name). When we applied for SSN, the person had her name on the SSN match the Visa and he recommended to apply for the Green card this way and then when she becomes a US citizen later, to do a legal name change. In addition to all of this, we already started doing her Driver's license and school where the records for those are Ngan (first) Bao (Middle) and D____ (Last). So there will be name conflicts. I'm confused and unsure of the implications of all these name conflicts. One big concern is we plan to apply for Financial Aid later, and if the name on the SSN does not match her school name, how will she be able to properly receive it? Can anybody give us any suggestions on how we should file the I-485 under and about our situation? Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Andrew T_____ and Ngan D____

When I first petitioned for my wife, it was just us 2. But we just had a new baby a few months ago.

When we apply for her visa (NVC) and I fill in my I-864, we will have a household of 3 members. Do we need to submit our baby's birth certificate + translation to the NVC?

We don't have the translated version and probably won't be able to get one anytime soon due to the lockdown, so if we are required to provide a birth certificate, could I just write a letter explaining that we're locked down and can't get it translated at this time? I could also send in the CRBA and a photocopy of my baby's passport as well.

Thoughts?
