why wait til Aug to move back when you can try go back in July instead Aug? when Aug may be the change with him moving to the US.

plus you will have to looking for job all over again and who knows they might want make sure you keep your job for a period of time. I am just saying and thinking.

 

I don't know if they CO will or may ask for more documents. its really up to CO. I cant answer that but am just saying.

 

I hope everything work out for the best.

 

if I was you I was leaving next week so I can hurry get a job and start from there.

 

some people had to leave their kid or children and then go back for them after the process. I know it's hard going without him. but you have to do what is best for all of you.

My son will have his classes until end of July and I need time for packing up all belongings in our home so I have to wait until Aug. My son is only 2 years old and he needs me to stay with him.

Does getting a job back in the US weight a lot? I actually plan to be a stay at home mom when I move back. I have enough savings to support us for at least one year and my family will support us if necessary. I also got my brother as a co-sponsor for my husband.

I submitted the additional documents to the Consulate today. Hope we will hear from them soon. Fingers crossed🤞🏻

I hope this wont take long. Sorry. 🙏🏽

Let’s ask @NikLR @missileman

I read some similar cases of my consulate and they got approved in 2 weeks after submitting extra proofs. I have bought the flight tickets in mid of Aug and hope my husband will be able to join us.😢

You will get a 221g for domicile and a time period in which to submit the documents.  They then have to review them again.  Depending on your embassy or consulate they may do this quickly or slowly. 

 

What else did you do besides a one way ticket for reestablishing domicile?

I will do / have done the following and provide the proofs to the CO:

1. Registration confirmation from my son’s preschool for coming September

2. Email and service agreement from the shipping company that I will confirm the moving services with

3. Email sent to US employers for employment seeking

4. Letters from my mom and brother stating that we will all live with them in my US mailing address after moving back

5. Car insurance card that my dad has added my name to his car insurance as family plan

6. One way flight tickets of my son and me

Are these good enough?

@dwheels76.... would the letter suffice for her.....

 

i think  you should write a letter as suggested below

NAME

SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER

Form I-864

Part 4, Question 5: Country of Domicile

I, XXXX, am currently residing in FOREIGN COUNTRY with my spouse, SPOUSE'S NAME. Below you will find a list of attached documents to show that my principal residence is in the US and the steps that I have taken to return to the US with my family.

Steps I have taken to maintain US Domicile:

• Maintained my XXXX voter registration

• Maintained my XXXX credit card registered in the US with a US PO box

• Maintained my bank account at the XXXX Credit Union

• Maintained my bank account at XXXX Bank

• Maintained my XXXX drivers license

• Maintained my US retirement fund through XXXX

• Maintained my US investment account with XXXX

• Maintained my US PO box

• Maintained licensure by the XXXX

• Maintained membership in the XXXX

• Maintained my automobile in care of my parents

Supporting Documents for the above steps I have taken:

• Voter registration card showing permanent US address

• XXXX credit card statement showing US billing address

• XXXX Credit Union statement showing permanent US address

• XXXX Bank statement showing permanent US address

• XXXX drivers license showing permanent US address

• Retirement fund statement showing permanent US address

• Mutual fund statement showing permanent US address

• XXXX license currently up to date

• Renewal of XXXX membership

• County tax bill showing I still own a vehicle

Steps I have taken to return to the US to take up residence:

• Made arrangements for us to have a house to live in

• Contacted schools for requirements of things to bring to register my children in school

• Contacted my auto insurance company to find out about re-instating my insurance on my car

• Contacted shipping company for estimate of costs to ship belongings

Supporting documents for the above steps I have taken:

• Lease agreement for our house

• Email from schools regarding registration requirements

• Email from my former auto insurance company regarding my inquiry

• Email from XXXX with estimate and correspondence regarding shipping our belongings

I declare that I intend in good faith to re-establish my domicile in the United States no later than the date of spouse's admission into the US.

I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the statements in this letter and all accompanying evidence are true and correct.

Signature: ____________________________________________________ Date: ______________________

I wrote a letter based on this example and uploaded to CEAC and NVC has accepted it. My husband submitted the original during the interview but the CO didn’t even look at it. Since the first thing he told my husband was “I will not approve your visa today” so I think he has already made the decision before the interview.

I think you hv to be seperate for sometime. I believe thats how they want the system to work. 

I got a job and a began working for some months before I applied for my husband. Its not easy. Trust me. It is NOT. 

But they wont see past the fact that you're not physically in the US.

I didn't want to either with two kids but here I am..  good luck. Proving domicile they can be extremely picky about that.

I hoep they do approved him but it look like they want proved you return back home that is all I can think off. now the ones you have I am not sure it will work because anyone can add you name on them stuffs and you still living oversea.

I also believe they do want me to move back first as all documents I submitted show I have a permanent US address and tie of the US. I decided to buy one way tickets for mid of Aug and move back first with my son. Will send all additional documents including the flight tickets to the Consulate and hopefully they will approve my husband before we leave. It's really hard to believe we may have to separate for a period of time...

One more question...do you know if the CO denies this round of extra document submission, will they deny the whole petition or will they give us another chance to submit more documents?

Have you submitted your USA naturalisation certificate ? I don't see you mentioning this anywhere. 

Yes I did submit my naturalization certificate with I-130 and my husband brought it to his interview. He even brought my US passport with him as well.

 >Evidence of job search or written and accepted job offer from an US Employer <-- do you think if I send some emails with my resume to the US employers and submit these emails, is this ok?
>A lease <-- We will live with my parents so I won't have a lease agreement 
>Proof US bank or investment accounts <-- already submitted
>Your child's school registration record <-- will do so
>Recent Utility bills in your name <-- will have my family add my name on it
>Medicare or other health insurance enrollment in the US <-- I keep my son's and my Medicaid while we are abroad. Will try to submit this too.
 

Hi folks,

I have been silent for a while as I was just waiting for my husband’s interview which is today. You know what?! We are put as AP!!! The first sentence that the CO talked to my husband was “I will not approve your visa today”. I can’t imagine how shocked my husband was when he heard this.

The reason is the CO thinks I have not enough proofs of US domicile. He said this IR-1 is for family reunion but I have already stayed with my husband in his home country for 10 years. The CO needs us to submit more proofs that I will move back to the US.

Here are the proofs of my US domicile that we have submitted in the NVC stage and to the CO:

1. US driver license with my US residental address

2. US credit card statement (I have been actively used)

3. US savings bank statement (I have put money in it regularly)

4. Active voter registration

5. Quotation from shipping company for moving

6. One way flight quotation from travel agent

7. Job resignation letter of my husband

8. Tax return 1040 of past 5 years

9. Tax transcripts of past 3 years

Now we are trying to gather as much proofs as possible. I need you VJ members to help for brainstorming. Here are some proofs I can think of:

1. Letter from my parents and brother stating we will live with them.

2. Since we will live in my parents’ house, can we make a lease agreement with my parents?

3. Add my name on the utility bills of my parents’ house.

4. Add my name on the car insurance of my dad.

5. Online register my son to preschool

6. Buy one way flight ticket for my son and myself

I don’t want to move back without my husband so I hope to find some proofs that I can get ASAP.

Please help...TIA

Guess nothing new for me then 😅😂 I was trying to give myself false hope! Hopefully I’ll get something in the next couple weeks or so,

that’ll be my one month mark from CC.

Next round will be your turn! Look forward to 2nd of June. I also waited for exact one month to get the date. Be patient 😊

I haven't seen Ghana start. But they always are late. Have you called NVC and asked specifically, "Have you started scheduling for Ghana?"

Many people will ask have you started scheduling for June and they say yes or no but you have to be specific.

I tried to call a couple of times and asked specifically for Hong Kong but they still gave me general information only. Any more tricks to ask?

So I just hang up the call with NVC and they said they are still scheduling the interviews for June. No specific information again for my Consulate.

They didn't tell when they will finish the scheduling. Let's pray for more interview dates throwing out today!

9 hours ago, S&L 💕 said:

Thank you! I was about to start getting worried if I didn’t 😅 

Looking on the bright side, at least this wait will never be as long as the original i130 wait!

You are right but I started being impatient for waiting for the interview date as it has been over 13 months since we submitted our I-130. Truly hope we all will see the interview flood in this week. 🤞🏻

14 hours ago, S&L 💕 said:

Feels like this wait bout to be forever! Is it normally about a month after CC for them to send out a letter scheduling your interview?

You finally got your CC, congrats!!

They usually start scheduling interview from about 10th to 18th each month from what I observed for the past few months. So you may still have chance to catch this batch of scheduling. I’m still waiting my date and I have been waiting for 3 weeks. It is really like forever 😞

Called NVC just now and got on hold over an hour but no helpful information is available.

The lady said she can’t see specific interview scheduling info for my Consulate. She just told they have started scheduling for June that is I know it already.

Just wait of time for calling.😞
