Thanks guys,

I really appreciate the help. It makes sense to stall it after first contact as Laurie&Colin suggest,

Things seem to be really easy and straight forward when filing in Sweden (Knock on wood)

I feel like a jerk for having the opposite problem of pretty much everyone else on these forums.

Hi all,

I am a Swedish beneficiary of my USC Wife, we both live in Sweden since 7 yrs back, have been married for 6 and have 2 USC sons (CRBA).

She filed my I-130 and got NOA1 January 23rd and we then received NOA2 with approval on Feb 2nd (9 days).

The problem is we had expected a 5 month process for the I-130 approval and are not able to immigrate until December this year.

As I understand it is possible to delay the next steps by not sending in information for a month or two at various steps in the NVC process.

I am wondering where the best step to delay is? I would like to delay after whatever step takes the longest if possible. Ideally I would like to end up with a visa around September or so to give us some leeway in moving. I am not clear on how many response steps there are in the process

.

As a second question, does anyone think we will have Domicile issues?, My wife has maintained a mailing address in the US at her parents, she has voted, kept her drivers license and we are currently filing her past taxes (we didn't know she had to do that but she will get the Foreign earned income exclusion) We are in the process of opening a bank account and transferring a majority of our savings over as well. Also her Dad will be a joint sponsor since we both have to quit our jobs when moving over.

Any suggestions from experience are much appreciated.
