My husband has been living with me in India since 3yrs. My question is what could we provide for his proof of US domicile.

We intend to live with his parents in there house.

Doesnt have a voter ID.

Closed his bank account before coming.

Left his job. (Worked at a restaurant owned by his father. so never had pay stubs)

My father in law is the joint sponsor.

What could we provide as the proof or it isnt necessary since my father in law is sponsoring us?

Expired drivers license.

No phone bills on his name.

The only thing valid is his state ID.

Here is the domicile checklist some ideas. All the things you said he doesn't have he needs to get.

What if I (the petitioner) live with my spouse in their foreign country? Do I need to include anything in either package?

You'll need to provide proof of US domicile with the AOS package, as well as bring it with you to the interview. Please read the I-864 instructions (pages 3 and 4) for information about it. This is NOT needed if the petitioner is living in the US. Here is a sample cover letter to include in the package (it lists MANY possible documents, some may not be applicable of course, to prove that you have, or will re-establish, domicile in the US):

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 principle 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.

ya, please note this is 1 of 2 paths - either:

--prove up the re-establishment of usa domicile or

--prove up usa domicile

That cover letter DWheels provided covers both scenarios, so bear that in mind as you are reading it, and IF YOU USE IT, edit out the part that won't apply. ie - pick one, delete the other.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

I did read this list and like I said..he doesnt have these..

Do we still need to have a strong proof even though my father in law is sponsoring me?

The sponsorship has nothing to do with domicile. The petitioner has to prove to the US government they intend to leave here move here get a job and care for their immigrant spouse. If he can't prove that no Visa will be granted.

he really needs to get the basics which is all the things you mentioned he doesn't have to start his domicile proof. They are simple to get. I suggest he get back to US and start working on that for your interview.

Thank you Darnell for straightening me out. I keep forgetting to separate those out.

IMO, prove-up on re-establishment can be done without leaving India.

Sure, it requires some document generation from folk in the USA, but that's the easy part.

Okay, I'm confused. I am writing the letter for proof of domicile like the sample provided in the NVC Process page. Do I not need to include everything like it shows? I have maintained bank accounts, retirement fund, drivers license, my house as a rental property, etc. We are planning to stay with family when we arrive as my house will be rented so I can show proof of that with a letter and I can also get quotes for moving our stuff from Australia and our pets, etc. Do I only need to show that I have maintained and am not trying to re-establish domicile?

it's easy to get confused with that template

as

it contains BOTH paths.

Remove one, concentrate on the other.
