Hi,

My wife (Beneficiary) has pending IR-1/CR-1 and expecting to complete by December 2013. She wanted to visit her aunt in Canada for 2 months. I am in the process of getting invitation letter from her Aunt. The question i had is that can i write in the invitation letter or personal letter to Canadian Embassy that she will go back to her home country to do the interview at US consulate to prove strong ties to back to home country? Or will be taken as negative as week ties to home country.

Thanks

Thanks a lot for the information. I will be working for the same company but in India as Indian Employee but only for short duration and will be paid in local currency.

Are you still going to be paid by a US company? I don't think the currency matters, but I've not come across that specifically to know. I'm sure someone else will chime in. You'll need to show earnings in the US, though, to be the financial sponsor (or have enough savings instead). I'm a little confused - it sounds like you're just going to take an assignment from your employer and keep working for the same people though? If so, that shouldn't be an issue. My husband is doing something very similar - he's on an "assignment" in the UK for a fixed, temporary term. He's still paid in USD, however, as a US employee (they then pay him some extra to pay for exchange costs and some other adjustments like having to pay tax twice!).

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3183.html This page explains domicile requirements and some other bits and bobs. If you can show your stay abroad is only temporary, then your domicile requirement should be met. This sounds very much like you:

Many U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents reside outside the United States on a temporary basis. "Temporary" may cover an extended period of residence abroad. The sponsor living abroad must establish the following in order to be considered domiciled in the United States:

• He/she left the United States for a limited and not indefinite period of time,
• He/she intended to maintain a domicile in the United States, and
• He/she has evidence of continued ties to the United States.

Hi, I filed for IR-1 and I am thinking of working from outside US so that I can be with my Spouse becuase not sure how long it takes to get the GC. I am planing to take 12 months transfer and then return back with after the transfer period with the same company. I have couple of questions.

1. Domicile requirement (I own a house in US and planing to rent it out when i move out of the country) will this be problem?

2. Affadavit of Support , since I will be paid in foriegn currency when i am working outside Unted States, could this be a potential issue?
