Filed I-130 for my father

[dallastexas83 0]

Hello! I just submitted the form I-130 for my father a month ago. Now, my husband is offered a job to be stationed in Okinawa, Japan as a US federal gov't civilian employee. If he gets this job, if I am not mistaken, we wil still be considered domicile in the U.S. because my husband will then have orders to work abroad.

Does anyone of you have been in the same situation? And do you know if I can actually bring my dad in Japan and also be considered to be domiciled still in the U.S. I didn't want him to compromise his resident status (if he gets his greencard) but also I am worried to live him by my relatives.

If it wont work out,is it ok we dont have the same address (is it a requirement?), say we live in Japan and he stays in the U.S. and will support him of his needs anyway?

One more thing, one of my husband's benefits would be to travel back in the U.S. every 18 months for free including immediate family members. If we will get him a visa to Japan, can he actually stay in Japan for 18 months before he goes back to the U.S. or is there a paperwork that will help him out or not possible?

I am just quite in a limbo right now. I just thought that maybe at some point, someone had the same or at least similar situation that I am going through right now.Thanks a lot for your help!

are you a USC ?...if you are...you can file for him and go where ever you want just so you will fill the sponsoring files for him in time.

Yes, I am a USC. As I have said I worry of the fact that when he gets to the U.S. and I am gonna be here since we are moving to Japan. I just thought someone might have similar or the same scenario that I am going through right now. I got some good advise from people that I should keep the application in California Service Center where it is right now because processing for I-130 for immediate relatives doesn't take very long. So, I will have my brother-in law forward the USCIS correspondence to me in Japan.

Thanks.
