Hi all,

Is it possible, or okay, to show that I have BOTH maintained domicile, and intend to establish domicile in the US? I understand that legally that makes no sense but in my petition am thinking of including evidence that falls into both categories. Basically I want to communicate: YES I AM MOVING BACK! :)

I've been living in Chile for a year and a half. I am moving back with my husband so that I can study for a master's. We'll be living with my parents for a while when we get there. However, I won't yet be enrolled in school when I submit NVC documents so I don't know how convincing I can be.

Docs I'm thinking of including:

1. US voting record

2. US bank account - unfortunately with not very much money in it :(

3. Acceptance letter to university

4. Lease agreement from my parents, signed by me

5. Moving quotes

The only problem is that this is a mixture of "establish domicile" documents and "maintain domicile" documents. Is that OK?
