USC lives and works in the U.K

[vamos 0]

My wife and I are about to file the I-864 file but looking at the step-by-step instructions there's one big obstacle; my wife is not domiciled in the U.S.

We've been living together in Scotland for almost 2 years now. The only exception I can see being plausible is the one in part 4 (: "You are living abroad temporarily". I'm hoping that my wife's "Limited Leave to Remain" marriage visa will come under "proof...that a foreign government has authorized a temporary stay". I called USCIS and was given the advice "I don't know, give it a try anyway". I was wondering if anybody has had to deal with a similar problem and if they were able to get around it in a similar way. I really don't want my wife to have to go back first without me as it's important to my family that we're both here until I get my visa.

Use her Parents or Siblings address.

You are going to need a co sponsor most likely, who ever will be doing that.

We've been using her dad's address for the entirety of the visa process and he is also going to be our co-sponsor, do you think this will suffice?

That's what most people do.

Succesfully.

The certainy of your post fills me with joy.

This is what we plan to do as well.

I've been in the UK on a LLR visa for 18 months. I don't have any property in the US, but I do still have a bank account. I'm hoping that will help a little. We will also be using my parents as co-sponsors.

I can't imagine how others would do it any other way! If you're doing consular filing in the UK ... the only way you can qualify under their jurisdiction is to be a "resident"!

How very confusing!
