I-864 for Petitioner Marina XXXXXXXX and Beneficiary Wendel XXXXX

Case Number: RDJXXXXXXXXXXXX

Cover Letter of Evidence Re-establishing Domicile in the

United States of America

To Whom it May Concern:

I, Marina XXXX, have lived outside of the United States since January 2009. Throughout this time I have kept a permanent address in Georgia at my parents home. I never intended to live permanently outside of the United States. I have always intended to return to the USA to finish my Bachelors of the Arts and live permanently. Please find below evidence of steps that I have taken to re-establish my domicile in the United States.

*Current Rental Agreement: for my husband and I to rent an apartment in Nowhere, GA starting on July 1, 2010

*Three bank statements from Any Bank (March 2006, October 2009, January 2010) showing that: I hold a bank account in the USA; I have kept a permanent address in Nowhere, Georgia; I have continued to pay bills in the USA

*Letter of Registration from Some College: showing that I have pre-registered for classes at Some College which begin on July 6, 2010 in Anothertown GA

*Print out of pre-registration: to show details of classes enrolled in and dates

*Copy of current GA drivers license: showing that I hold a permanent address in Nowhere, GA and that I have a current license. Original can be provided on request.

*Two Western Union Receipts (October 2009, March 2010) from my husband (acting on my behalf) to my mother in the USA for her to make deposits into my American bank account -one deposit can be seen on the Any statement from October 2009.

*Bill of Sale for my 1993 Laser Plymouth: this bill of sale is from 2007; however, I still own the car and it has been stored for me by my parents in the USA. Please see proof of upkeep for said car, below.

** Letter from GA department of Revenue Vehicle Registration Renewal Notice for November 18, 2009. This letter also shows a permanent address in the USA.

**Copy of Progressive Insurance Card valid from September 2009 until March 2010, under my name and with the make of the car seen above in the bill of sale (I think before the interview my mom will scan me my new card which would be valid from March 2010 until some distant date)

**Print out of payments made to Progressive for my car insurance each month

**Letter from the Georgia Department of Revenue from October 2009 showing that I paid US taxes and also showing my permanent address kept in the US

Please accept this evidence as proof that I intend to permanently move back to the USA upon the approval of my husbands CR-1 visa. Also that I have taken many steps to reestablish my domicile to the USA and that I have never completely given up my American domicile, as can be seen by my evidence.

Please accept this evidence as proof that I intend to permanently move back to the USA upon the approval of my husbands CR-1 visa. Also that I have taken many steps to reestablish my domicile to the USA and that I have never completely given up my American domicile, as can be seen by my evidence.

(2) Domicile. Domicile means the place where a sponsor has his or her principal residence, as defined in section 101(a)(33) of the Act, with the intention to maintain that residence for the foreseeable future. A United States citizen living abroad whose employment meets the requirements of section 319(b)(1) of the Act is considered to be domiciled in the United States. For purposes of the ability to sign a Form I-864, an LPR living abroad is considered to have a domicile in the United States during a temporary period of residence abroad if he/she has obtained preservation of residence benefits under 316(b) or 317 of the INA. There may be other situations in which a U.S. citizen or LPR can establish that his or her domicile is still in the United States, despite the fact that the citizen or LPR is currently living outside the United States. Critical issue: proof that the residence abroad is intended to be only temporary and that sponsor, during the temporary absence, has maintained an intent to keep his or her domicile in the United States, despite the temporary sojourn abroad.If the sponsor is not domiciled in the United States, the sponsor can still sign and submit a Form I-864 so long as the sponsor satisfies the Department of State officer, immigration officer, or immigration judge, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the sponsor will establish a domicile in the United States on or before the date of the principal intending immigrant’s admission or adjustment of status. The intending immigrant will be inadmissible under section 212(a)(4) of the Act, and the intending immigrant’s application for admission or adjustment of status must be denied, if the sponsor has not, in fact, established a domicile in the United States on or before the date of the decision on the principal application for admission at a U.S. port of entry on an immigrant visa or adjustment of status.

In the case of a sponsor who comes to the United States intending to establish his or her principal residence in the United States at the same time as the principal intending immigrant’s arrival and application for admission at a port-of-entry, the sponsor shall be deemed to have established a domicile in the United States for purposes of this paragraph. If, however, the sponsor is an LPR, and the sponsor’s own application for admission is denied, so that the sponsor leaves the United States either under a removal order or as a result of the sponsor’s withdrawal of the sponsor’s application for admission, the sponsor will not be deemed to have established a domicile in the United States. Thus, the Form I-864 will not be valid and the sponsored immigrant will be inadmissible on public charge grounds.

I would say your good to go !!

Interesting paragraph! Thanks for posting it! I would say I'm good to go too! Probably they wont even look at this stuff, but it's better to have it just in case I guess!

Just a question: according to the paragraph it looks like I never really LOST domicile right? Since I always have kept a permanent address, I own a car which I pay to upkeep, I've paid taxes, ect...so is "reestablishing domicile" the right word? And if not, what would be a better word?

Thanks!
