Residence Address for I-864 - living outside of the U.S.

[criandjen 0]

My husand is working on the DS-230 and I am working on the I-864. I have a residence in the U.S. but I am currently living with him in Italy while he works so we don't have to be apart during this process. I put my address in Florida as my mailing address but for my place of residence, should I put our address in Italy? As for proof that my domicile is in the U.S., will my 2008 tax return and bank statement suffice as proof of domicile in the U.S.?

Did you receive AOS package? Otherwise, it is OK. Just make sure that you will get AOS package from NVC as it has IIN, which will allow paying bills online.

You need AOS bar coded coversheet with I-864 form and DS-230 bar coded coversheet with DS-230 form.

Thanks for the reply but my question is: will a bank statement and tax return suffice for proof my domicile is in the U.S. if I am currently residing in Italy with my husband?

For domicile, it is OK. But I think I missed the one point related to I-864, i.e., your current employment and Original employment letter that you need to submit with I-864.

Actually, unless Italy is incredibly lax regarding domicile - that won't suffice.

criandjen - The OP was not asking about pay stubs and a letter of employment - in fact they are living in Italy so that would not be useful.

You mention you have a residence in the U.S. - what type is it - do you own a home? Are you going to be living with someone else? If you own, provide a document that proves ownership - so they can see you have a physical place to live. If you are going to be living with someone - have them write a letter stating you will be living with them and that you have agreed on a rental amount.

Do you have a U.S. driver's license - that is also helpful. The bank statement is also a good idea. Can you do a moving quote online and submit that as well? Also write a note stating that you intend to reestablish domicile in the U.S. no later than the intending immigrant.

What you are trying to prove at this point is that you are planning to reestablish domicile - anything that says - hey we are moving - is good proof.

Thanks Trailmix....one more question for you or anyone else with experience in this. On the I-864, I am going to put my mailing address as Miami Beach and my residence (as that is where we have been living since January) as Italy. The problem is, my home in Miami is currently under foreclosure and either by the time this application is processed (or shortly after) the home will be owned by the bank. For the residence we plan to live in once the application is approved, should we put my dad's address which is also in Florida? And will the fact that my home is in foreclosure affect our application? My dad will co-sponsor and he has a good income and many assets.

If you think my dad's address is better for the address where we plan to live (that Cris will put on the DS-230)...should I change my address NOW to my dad's address in Florida, BEFORE I submit the I-864? I saw a warning in WIKI about not changing your address at the same time you are completing your I-864...HELP?
