Proving Domicile when not living in USA

[CarolinaGirl 2]

I've started getting things together for our interview which I'm hoping will be in May. I was reading through the domicile thread, but it's really long and a lot of it is just folks chatting about getting an interview and such. I haven't really been able to find much in it. So I was hoping to get suggestions on what I have, or could get to prove domicile. I'm a stay at home mom, so I don't work and our child is only 8 months old, so too young to actually register for school. I do maintain my license as a radiologic technologist in the US so I was planning on putting that in. So the things I have are

Radiologic Tech license

US Cell phone bill

US banking records

US student loan records(I'm still paying on them, but I don't know if they help or not??)

Letter from my parents saying that we will live with them in the US when we move.

A library card(should I even bother with this?)

I'm trying to vote in the primary election in my state and show a record of that

Are there other things I should get? Since I don't plan on working it's hard to actually line up a job or have a job offer or anything. I would obviously rather not move down without him especially since we have a young baby, so I'd like to be as prepared as I can be!

Thanks!

I'd suggest readint the domicile thread. Montreal seems to be very picky on this issue and quite a few have had to move back in advance of the interview.

Do you have any children who will be going to school there? if so you can show registration maybe? OOps nvm..the baby is only 8 months old..what about a pediatrican or a doctor letter etc? saying they will be the primary family physician? i have no idea if that works or if anyone has done that.

There have been a few people in the past who were forced by circumstance to move back to the US without their spouse to establish domicile. Montreal can be fairly strict with this. They want to see concrete ties, not superficial ones. Examples would be a lease/mortgage, job offer, school enrollment, children to go back to, etc. I know what you are thinking and I agree, they are unfair expectations.

With that said, I haven't seen this issue come up in a while. Anyone have any recent problems with this in Montreal? Its possible they have lowered their expectations. All you can do is provide what you have. Personally, I would go to the interview with the evidence you have, and hope for the best. If it's not good enough, you can consider a new plan. Just my 2 cents.
