CR1 Naples - Domicile Help!

[DartJ 0]

Basically this is what happened:

In Naples last month for interview:

Medical -- OK

Paperwork-- Perfect

Fingerprints - Fine

Photographs - No problem.

The Interview:

Placed on hold because of my domicile (We live in the Uk at the moment because we both had jobs here, and didn't want to seperate, but are planning to move to the US as soon as her visa was approved)

Placed on hold now with no guidance on what to do next. Can we move the files to London to have another interview? Should we submit more paperwork to Naples? I have lived abroad for aroudn three years in Italy and the Uk and don't have a permenant job in the US, but still have paid taxes, voted, and retain bank accounts, etc. We have merely been waiting over 1 year now, for this process to conclude.

As of now, we don't know what to do and can't get anyone to respond to emails. My senator has also called and spoke with the visa chief, but we have not heard back from him. Any advice or thoughts are most appreciated.

Are you actually domiciled in the UK or you're only a resident? http://www.hill.af.mil/library/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=6413

You need to be domiciled in the US to be able to sponsor your wife. Did you provide them with proof of US domicile?

Also, what does 'on hold' mean? Did they keep your wife's passport? Did they give you some slip stating the reason of your case being on hold?

You simply need to prove intent to re-establish domicile or that you have not abandoned domicile. 5% of all I-130 filers do it from abroad. Italy is wrong.

I would ask for a transfer to London, if it is possible. London is familiar with these types of cases.

Ok, so let's break it down over in this thread.

What did you already submit as proof of re-establishing domicile?
