Domicile question out of curiosity

[amuna0526 11]

Just a quick question..my friend's husband is overseas. He went to visit her in February and hasn't come back yet. They're putting the Affidavit of support together, and are wondering if the husband(US citizen) needs to proof domicile. He only went to visit and wanted to hopefully come back to the US with his wife if and when she gets a conditional residency. What type of proof can he use if he should prove domicile?

Thank you

If he only went to visit, he should have plenty of proof of domicile, starting with filing taxes as a resident, then a lease or home ownership, a job to get back to, cell phone bill, valid voter registration and drivers license etc.

Thanks penguin. But does everyone now need to prove domicile in the US regardless of status here? I mean whether he's here or went overseas to visit, or was living there full time?

They can do one of two things:

- show he only went to visit/ never abandoned domicile or

- show he intends to re-establish domicile before or at the same time as the wife immigrates.
