Yes, the rules have changed effective Jun 1 06. Now you basically have to be living in India to use DCF.

I have heared that rule for India has been changed. Now you don't have to stay in india for 60 days. Is it true?

Thanks,

If you are living in India then how can you prove your domicile in US and file affidavit of support (I-864)

There are a number of ways.

I presume you're more interested in how you accomplish that, right? :)

Domicile is not the same as residence.

Income is not a requirement of the I-864.

See the DCF Guide for some ideas and links and don't forget the very useful new instructions on the latest version of the I-864.

So I am a US Citizen married to an Indian citizen, but we still can not apply DCF because I'm not an Indian citizen? Correct? Isn't it faster to do a K3?

?

How do you conclude that?

The USC must be a resident of India in order to file locally.
