My petition to remove conditions on residence form I-751 was denied because we moved back to Argentina after two wonderful years in the US.

We're planning to stay here but I'd like to retain my residence status, what are our options?

An embassy official told me I could apply for citizenship from overseas, but I thought this was a long process which can only be done while in the US.

Anyone with a similar experience?

Hi everyone! Thanks for all the answers!!

My wife hasn't earned any money while she's been away of the US because she is a housewife.

Will she still need to file the Tax Returns anyways?

As I understand we have to prove that she intends in good faith to reestablish her domicile.

We are sending these documents on the I-864 package:

1. Cover letter detailing our our future plans for moving to the U.S.

2. Offer of employment for the petitioner (my wife).

3. Offer of employment for the beneficiary (that's me).

4. A letter from the bank (or a bank statement) showing that she has an account in the US with some money.

5. A letter from her mother stating that we will be living with her during the first weeks until we are ready to start our jobs.

6. An online quote from a international shipping company.

Is this sufficient evidence to support our claim?

Any suggestions/advice is more than welcome!

Thank you in advance!!

Hi everyone!

My wife is a U.S. citizen and she's the petitioner for my IR-1 Visa process.

We are filling the I-864 form and I have a question about the Sponsor part.

She's been living outside the USA for the last 20 years and we are planning to move back once I get my green card.

I have read that the sponsor can only be the IR-130 petitioner, but since she's been living abroad she has no domicile there and she's never filed any tax returns.

My mother-in-law is also a U.S. citizen and she complies with all the requirements for a Joint Sponsor, including the domicile, but my concern is about my wife as the Main Sponsor.

According to the I-864 instructions:

If you are not currently living in the United States, you may meet the domicile requirement if you can submit evidence that you intend in good faith to reestablish your domicile in the United States no later than the date of the intending immigrant's admission or adjustment of status.

You must submit proof that you have taken concrete steps to establish you will be domiciled in the United States at a time no later than the date of the intending immigrant's admission or adjustment of status. Concrete steps might include accepting a job in the United States, signing a lease or purchasing a residence in the United States, or registering children in U.S. schools. Please attach proof of the steps you have taken to establish domicile as described above.

The question is how do we submit the proofs? By sending additional notes and documents on the same I-864 package?

Has anyone had a similar experience who can shed some light on this topic?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

We are starting our IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process and I'd like to know if a previous Tourist Visa is of any help when getting an IR-1 / CR-1 Visa.

My wife is an american citizen and I'm the Benefitiary.

I got a 10 years Tourist Visa 2 years ago and I went through all the process without any issues.

Is that Tourist Visa of any help speeding up the whole process at the USCIS?

Thanks!

Rogelio
