affidavit of support / proof of domicile

[symphony 0]

hi there! first time using this, so apologies if i touch upon something that has been dealt with before....i have been madly searching all the threads today!

can someone tell me to what extent you have to prove your US domicile for the affidavit of support? seems a bit contradictory to prove you live abroad for DCF, but at the same time prove you live in the States and are making money. i am a little confused.

any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks xx

No, it's not right.

What you have to prove is that you intend to return, or have already returned, to the US to live permanently. Put together everything you can think of that would show exactly that - bank records, proof of employment searches, employment contracts/letters of employment if it's already been secured, rental agreement or statement from friend/family member you and your spouse intend to reside with, documents that children are enrolled in US schools, those kinds of things.

I'm a DoD contractor so I qualified under INA 319(B)(1) for temporary employment abroad. If you are working for a US corporation on a contract basis, you may also qualify. I also used my investment assets (stocks, mutual funds, and 401k), renewed drivers license, and voter registration to show strong continuous ties to the US.

My wife's visa was approved today.....so happy!!!

We provided US bank statements, US driver license and payments of a shed we kept in the US.

These were enough for DCF Japan.

On a side note, you will need a joint sponsor if your job in Spain is not continuous in the US.

thanks for the replies everyone!

i was really starting to panic about the wording on this domicile issue...but now i understand. just need to prove our intention to reside permanently in the States, and i believe we have quite a lot of evidence to prove that. also, we will definitely be using a co-sponsor....i am a stay at home mom these days, but probably not for long once we get back to America!

on a different note, i have been out of the country for over 10 years....does that make any difference with what evidence i need to supply, or with how my case will be handled?

thanks again! xx

Should not make any difference at all.

The OP may have assets equating to 3x 125% of the poverty line which means they would not necessarily need a cosponsor.
