original documents to NVC? Country of domicile?

[Emelie 0]

Hi. Ive been trying to understand wheather the NVC wants u to send the original documents to them, such as birthcertificate, marriage certificate etc. Is this correct that they require originals? Or do I make copies and bring the originals to the interview? Im confused

I also had a question regarding country of domicile that you have to fill out at the affidavit of support. My husband have been in Sweden since december 2010 and have a visa valid until januari 2012. Althouh he only have a vistors visa, which means that he techinally doesnt live here and are not aloud to work, he is just here as a visitor. Are Sweden his country of domicile now? or is USA? he is still written on the adress there where all of his mail etc goes.

Love Emelie

re: country of domicile... if he holds a Sweden passport, is here on a visitor visa, and pays taxes in Sweden... my guess is that his domicile is Sweden. He is not here to live, he is here to visit. I could be wrong, though.

The documents must be originals or certified copies issued by the government authority in charge of maintaining the record. In addition, you send in a set of copies of all these documents.

I also had a question regarding country of domicile that you have to fill out at the affidavit of support. My husband have been in Sweden since december 2010 and have a visa valid until januari 2012. Althouh he only have a vistors visa, which means that he techinally doesnt live here and are not aloud to work, he is just here as a visitor.

Your husband must show that he has a domicile in the US. You mention his US mailing address. Is this a home that he intends to return to? Did he use to live there? If yes to both questions, then that is his domicile. If it is something else, then it could be his domicile or it may not be depending on the circumstances. Does he list that address on this driver's license? Where is he registered to vote?
