You have multiple threads regarding this question.  I believe this thread was not to be restarted......

 

You must spoil my thread.

Why do you unnecessarily intervene?

I let the admin/moderator know about your violence.

Anyone can read these two posts these are two different topics and separate discussion.

I request the admin/Moderators of this website kindly take notice of such behaviour.

No-one knows....I honestly don't believe long AP is due to security checks for Pakistan.  Document verification maybe but in our case they gave all documents back.  You can't verify the documents if you don't keep them.  

They return all the documents.

except the Passport

At second interview we were given the white paper (221g) second box checked for Administrative Processing.

It is for security background check.

We are a IR1, first interview was 12/13/17 second interview was 10/23/18,  no objections at second interview but given ds5535, first update...before interview then continually for the first few month, then in slowed down then stopped.  Now it only updates when the congressman or senator inquire.

Total of 27 updates 10 without an inquiry once it was 4 days in a row another 3 days in a row...still in AP.

Were you given white slip?

if yes, which box was ticked?

It's differs case to case.   Some get no updates and then one day a few updates then a visa.  Some get many updates but no visa.  Many will say 3 updates consecutive means a visa but we had that happen twice and we are still in AP.   

Thank you so much for your reply.

Can your share your visa category, interview date, objections, first update, and how many updates thus far?

What are the effects if one's case is in Administrative Processing and the dates change without sending any inquiries/emails?

Does case update give any signs of a decision?

When does often case date change, after how much time?

After how many changes Embassy/consulate ask for additional documents?

Kindly share your practical experience and understanding of case updating.

Thanks

I would be very grateful if someone could share his/her experience who has gone through "Domicile issue".

My visa category is IR-1 I had been interviewed in Islamabad Pakistan in December 2019. My  visa was refused and I was asked to show petitioner's domicile. I would like to know if someone was sent in Administrative Processing because of the same reason kindly share your experience.

• When were you interviewed?
• How long have you been in Administrative Processing?
• What documents did you provide them?
• Did you only upload the documents or send them too?
• How long were you in AP and finally got the visa?

My wife is the Petitioner, she was dependent upon her parents before marriage. So she had no any bank account, lease papers, and tax return. But My wife and my one-year old son are moving back to the USA in February to maintain domicile. 

Will these documents be enough or I have to provide more? How much time does this normally take to be resolved?

1 - Tickets, Boarding Pass

2- Bank Account

3- State ID

4- Voter Registration

5- Accommodation Confirmation Letter signed by Petitioner's sister

Your practical experience and advice will be appreciative.

Thanks

Today my husband (the beneficiary) and I (the petitioner) had our visa interview at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, and it didn't go according to plan. We didn't get the visa and we were told that we didn't have enough proof of my domicile in the U.S. and proof that I would definitely be returning there after we get the visa. This is because we have moved to Korea (my husband is from Russia) so we could be together. I got a job as an English teacher here, so we could live together here, but apparently we didn't have enough proof of my domicile.

Please help me figure out what kind of proof I could get that would be efficient.

I can't get proof that I will have a job when I get back to the U.S. I am only 22 and that would be impossible for me to arrange while I'm in Korea. The same with getting a lease on an apartment or something.

What I have compiled so far is this:

-Driver's license

-proof that I am still under my father's health insurance

-proof that I am still under my family's phone plan

-a page on my voting registration

-my bank accounts (this was already included beforehand)

-my contract ending date

-letter saying that I'm not going to prolong my contract in Korea after it ends

-letter from my parents saying that we can live with them until we find a place to live

That's all I got so far. Please tell me if there is anything else I may have that I should include or if you think this will be efficient.

You have to move back, show them these things again alongwith your ticket and boarding pass.

It will work

Thanks

OK so she does not want to work, who does?

 

So she can still move back etc and that leaves the issue of sponsorship.

 

So see the I 864 but she either needs significant savings which I am going to assume is unlikely or a Joint Sponsor, does she have anybody in the US who can be a Joint Sponsor.

Yes

Already Provided

I will try to make this reply as simple as possible so you can understand.

 

A domicile is the place where the sponsor petitioner (your US citizen wife) lives and intends to live in the foreseeable future in the USA.

Since your wife (the petitioner) is residing abroad for more than 2 years, the State Department is requiring her to prove that her principal residence is in the United States. 

Suggestions to establish domicile for immigration purposes.

1.     Have your US Citizen wife move back to the United States;

2.     Have your US Citizen wife establish a bank account, maintain bank balances, and show banking transactions (like buying food, paying bills) in the United States;

3.     Transfer some funds from your country to your US Citizen wife's bank account in the United States;

4.     Have your US Citizen wife try to find a job in the United States;

5.     Have your US Citizen wife register to vote in the United States;

6.     Have your US Citizen wife get a Drivers License in the state she will live in the United States.

 

USCIS and State Department have both taken the position that the burden of proving the domicile is on the sponsor (in this case, that is your US Citizen wife).  The adjudicating officer after looking at all the factors will make a determination if domicile has been proven.

 

There is no advice to give you to "get out" of your situation.  If your wife does not establish domicile, you will not receive a spousal visa to immigrate to the USA.

Thanks

I appreciate

Oh, now you want @missileman to help you, after telling him repeatedly to get off your post...

 

Your entitled attitude is not going to get you very far.

 

As others have said, your wife has to move to the US and establish domicile. It doesn't have to take long. It's not something you can do; she, as the petitioner, will have to work on this, which is why people are asking for her to join this thread so we can help her.

I am replying according to the Post.

If I say anyone not to post it was according to reply.

I have read others' post, I don't need your attendtion

Opening a bank account is pretty easy, your wife should at the very least do that.

What else other than doing a job.

US immigration does not care at all about family structures in Pakistan.

Your wife likely needs to move to the US ahead of you to find a place to live, open bank accounts, get a driver's license, etc. and prove you both intend to live there.

I appreciate your precise answer

Thanks

Do you know what a domicile is? Maybe your wife could join this thread?

 

Edited to add:

What she did in the past, before marriage, means nothing. What does she have to show a current/upcoming domicile in the US?

What do you mean?

Mind your language you boy

Just now, missileman said:

She can move back to the US first....just as I did........you just don't want to accept that......

Why do I not accept?

ok then

7 minutes ago, Lemonslice said:

Now, your wife needs a domicile in the US.

Yes

This Question is

She was dependent upon her parents before marriage. She never did any job, so therefore she never filed tax return.

Now What I should do

My situation was every similar to the OP.......My wife and I were married in Taiwan, and we lived there after our marriage.  I was a resident alien there.......But I had to move back to the US, establish domicile, then we started the CR-1 process......the separation wasn't fun.......but we survived......

 

-Missileman out!!!

How much time did it take to be completed? 

1 hour ago, Loren Y said:

Oh, I didn't think of that, her only being employed a few weeks probably won't satisfy the I-864, good point. But maybe that was already covered, as they told him he just needed proof of domicile at the interview?

Everyone is posting without reading my post carefully what I posted.
This fact must be accepted every case varies from others.

sorry but you are

and as far as the statement u want answers from the ones of us that have gone thru this

we all have (or those waiting are going to do) as we all have to prove the USC has US residency

and that is what you 2 are going to have to do 

read what Loren Y posted carefully

and please respect missileman as he tries to help 

This is not a place to justify, I know who is saying accordingly and who is not.

Why are you generalizing one case to others?

You must respect other post if you have gone through this situation then comments positively here.

He cannot use a joint sponsor, please see my previous post, it says exactly what he needs to do, I believe he is looking for a loophole that does not exist. If OP would actually listen to the well versed members here, all he has to do is have his wife return to the US with their son, and within a month she can literally have everything he needs to follow her. If they get on it ASAP, and don't mess around, he should have his visa in a few months. She would rent an apartment, open a bank account, enroll their child in school, she probably has no residence abroad to sell, so that's out, but she could have everything else on that list, and proof of it within a month. As the well versed members like yourself know, 2-3 months away from your loved ones and family is really a drop in the bucket compared to what some have gone thru on here. I don't know how people go years not being together, you really have to love someone to manage that, and the 8-9 months I did seemed like an eternity to me, so I feel the pain.

as far as bank account is concerned, it can use. but how I will enrolled my son in School he is just one year old.

I have presented joint sponsor and it was accepted.

No, he has valid points. How does your wife plan to support you with no job, no money, not even a bank account in the USA?????? You will definitely need a cosponsor in order for it to be approved. 

I have Joint Sponsor. It was already attached therewith.

I have Place to live.
