domicile proofs - feedback please

[choles 0]

Hi everyone,

We have read through the pinned domicile post, all 150 or so posts, searched for every other domicile post on this forum and read all that too, so what we've gathered is based on everything we could learn from VJ. Still, if anyone can give some feedback to us, we'd really appreciate it. We've got less than 2 weeks to go and are getting nervous since most of our proofs don't fit into the traditional obvious domicile proofs.

Here's what we have:

• Lease agreement - but it's with my parents, should we say we'll be living with family till we get adjusted, or is it sufficient to just show it as a lease agreement?

• Shipping quote from ABF/UPack - it's a little email print out, anyone recommend using any other service instead?

• Bank statements from US account and wire transfer showing fund transfer from Canada to US

• Credit card statements

• Professional license

• Child care registration confirmation letter and canceled check of registration fee

• Ticket purchase confirmation and trip itinerary

• Car insurance quote

• Driver’s license

• Voter registration card - but it's 10 years old...is there even any point in taking it?

Is this enough? Any other ideas for us???

We'd appreciate all and any help! Thank you!

Sounds pretty good, really. The only other thing I can think of is proof of the two of you researching jobs in the area you will be living.

Thanks Joanna, that's a good idea! Will get on that suggestion asap.

Can someone explain this domicile thing to me? I think it is the one aspect of the process that I do not understand...

I am pretty sure it is only something people who are going the DCF route have to worry about...

All I had was a photocopy front/back of drivers license,

utility and bank statement with address

I think you have MORE than enough!

Good luck!

Thanks Rachel...we hope so! Domicile seems to be the main issue DCF-ers face, so that's why we're nervous about it...guess we'll be able yall on how it goes soon enough!

Did you DCF? I thought you were a K-1?

Domicile is something only people who go the DCF route need to worry about. Individuals who file DCF petitions are living in Canada with their Canadian SO's and need to prove continued residential ties to the US and/or the intent to reestablish those ties. If your American SO lives in the US and filled the petition from the US, it does not apply.

Choles- Not that I know a lot about Domicile, but that looks like some pretty solid evidence. I wish you luck!

oh, sorry...
