I need some encouragement VJ!

I am sure you are right. I didnt know that could be done. How would someone show this intent in the best way? Can he just explain they will be living with her father at his house?

Thats what I wonder myself. If my dads address is on the tax forms then that would show it right? I would just think hed say we are gonna stay there until we get moving and get a job.

Do my kids and I needed to be counted on my dads i864? They ARE counted on mine.I only counted hubby. I sent a bank statment where it shows I have more than enough money to take care of us even though I dont have a job. (recently inherited a little money from a relative)

Show you live in US, get a job in us, and your off to the races.

Yeah, I think Magical is absolutely right on this. I was a little nervous when you described your job situation here, but since you have a qualified co-sponser and a place to go in the US I think you'll be fine. I know you probably feel traumatized after having been denied the tourist visa(s) (oh, Been There!) but this visa is a whole different ball game and your husband is to some degree entitled to it since he is married to a US Citizen. Not at all the case with a B1 / B2 Visa.

You'll be just fine. Keep us posted since my situation is quite similar to yours (down to the two kids and going to live with mom and pop and everything!). I thought you had said that your folks live in Mexico though? In any case, best of luck! I'm confident that your husband will be fine.

I need to interject on this statement; nobody is entitled to anything, period. A foreign spouse of a US Citizen is allowed to apply for a spousal visa but it's the government who makes the decision.

I do agree with everything else you wrote in your post.

Yeah, I thought that might raise an eyebrow or two You're right, entitled isn't the right word.. Eligible is more like it

An otherwise qualified spouse of a US Citizen is eligible to apply for a spouse visa. That's very different from being eligible for a visa.

The key here is that the reasons for denying a visitor visa to the spouse of a US Citizen have little if anything to do with whether the spouse visa applied for will be issued. If the relationship is deemed bona fide, the paperwork is in order and there is qualified and appropriate sponsorship, the visas tend to be granted unless the foreigner has been in the US illegally, overstayed a visa or has a disqualifying criminal record.

So I have been married and living in Mexico the last 4 years with my hubby. We have 2 kids, and since we started dating until now he has been denied a tourist visa 4 times. Now after 3 years its finally time for his visa appt in Ciudad Juarez, its Tuesday.

Im just so afraid to be told "Babe, I didnt get it again" Im horrified, they always denied us tourist visas so why should this be any different.

Then I worry what if paperwork is wrong and they say no! He works at his fathers church so if they see we are "poor" maybe they wont let us go up, we only make $5000 USD a YEAR! Im just afraid they will say "who will hire you?!" Or I dont know a bazzilon other things pop into my mind, Im already crushed and the day isnt here yet even!

Encouragement would be helpful! I feel scared for Tuesday when he calls to say if he got it or not!

Do you think we have a chance?

We are sometimes pouring our thoughts that everything seems worst. But, mostly, it doesn't seem as bad as we thought about that after it was occured. I felt like that too in some certain phases of my life. You are lucky, 2 kids would cheer you up when you missed your hubby so much. You just need to hugging them. It is the best things ever happened in your life.

My fiance and I had arrange to met in person for last 2 years and we always had obstacle during the time. I was like," oh no, why it happened, why people get easy to meet their loved ones, why not me to had that chance? what's wrong with me? And I realized that sometimes waiting and patience would worthy. We were finally met after almost 3 years spent time talking over Skype almost 24 hours a day.

I have seen many people, looking through their time lines, easy to meet, get engaged, easy approval, but their relationship is not lasted forever. I'm not hoping bad things happened to another people. I'm genuinely happy for them. But I can have my positive side that sometimes challenge comes to make relationship more stronger. I wish best luck for your hubby.

In this circumstance, since the qualified joint sponsor is a parent living in the USA a the same address the petitioner, beneficiary and their children have stated under penalty of perjury that they also intend to live, I expect that will be sufficient evidence of intent to establish domicile. Usually is.

Your tourist visa application does not really matter, they might probably ask you about it in your interview..I hope you have a bona fide joint sponsor in your case

The Canadiens here have written about this, a lot, as it's some issue for many USCitizens that have lived in Canada with their Canadien's spouse, for years, and are __FINALLY__ 'moving' back to home. Usually there is no home, but in the same breath, a PILE of paperwork presented at interview day that PROVES UP the concept of RE-ESTABLISHING DOMICILE is what ya need.

I'm terribly sorry, we've a search feature here, Nicci, I thought you could simply try 're-establishing domicile' in the search tool, come up with some serious posts about it. I sense that's not the case, and now I beg of you - USE THE SEARCH FEATUREs.

Best of Luck !
