CR1 Visa CHINA Interview 7-2008 BLUE PAPER 221(g)

[Magnus1977 0]

We're very frustrated.

I'll make is short and sweet for you.

My wife is Shanghainese.

We started the CR1 visa July of 2007.

It took a while for many reasons, police reports, we had a baby stuff like that.

We got married in the states in July 2006.

She had a tourist visa at that time.

I've been working in Shanghai for 4 years, lived in China for a total of 5 years.

All the stuff with the America consulate and government were relatively quick.

We were not in a rush for this to happen since the baby was coming and now has come.

He was born in December.

Police reports took forever...but that's another story.

Medical check up early July 2008.

Visa interview in Guangzhou July 23rd 2008.

We got a blue paper. 221(g) reasons. It said, "Petitioner must verify US domicile as per regs / 9 FAM."

I was annoyed. She was annoyed.

My folks were annoyed her folks were pretty happy! We will stay with them longer and they can be with our boy a bit longer.

There were more papers with the BLUE paper... spelling out DOMICILE.

Since I haven't been in America for a while I have no DOMICILE... I have to establish one.

THere are things that they suggest to ESTABLISH a domicile.

get a job. DONE.

Open a bank account. DONE a long time ago.

Transfer funds to the states. Working on that...

VOTING or planning to vote. NO COMMENT.

THey say that there is no need for another interview just send the stuff.

Then they will tell us the next step.

My folks plan on using a LAWYER.

Couple questions:

1. Is there a need for a Lawyer at this point? Do you all think that will help, hinder, ruin, support, expedite the whole process?

2. Have any of you had the BLUE paper with the 221(g) reason and if so HOW LONG did it take to actually get the visa...

3. Why oh why was this DOMICILE issue not in the paper work. I would've done this if it was in there... SO ANNOYING!!

4. It's pretty much August 2008, when do you think we'll be going to the states.

5. What do you think the next step is??

The information regarding domicile is clearly listed in the I-864 Instructions (page 5). http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-864.pdf

Hi Magnus,

I am just a beginner here, but with the blue you just have to provide them with what they are asking for. Can you just give your parents address as a domicile? Once you are in the states you can move to your own place.
