I-864 Questions (Joint sponsor, mailing address, domicile, etc)

[LeahEmilio 0]

Hi Guys,

Sorry if this has been asked before. I've searched the forums and I can't find the answers.

My husband and I live together in Spain. I am an American citizen. He is Spanish. We have gotten our NOA2 and we are going through the NVC process. Since both of us work in Spain, we need to get a Joint Sponsor and my father has agreed to do it.

In Part 3 (Information about the immigrant you are sponsoring), since I am going to have a joint sponsor, do I mark YES or NO? There are no family members coming with us from Spain, so I imagine that I can skip 3a-27. In 28, is the number of immigrants I am sponsoring 1? Or is it 0 because technically my father is going to be sponsoring my husband?

For my mailing address, I have put my parent's address in the U.S. because this is what we used for the I-130 mailing address. However my physical address will be in Spain. Is this ok?

The thing that has me the MOST confused is the country of Domicile. Would I put that it is Spain, in this case? Or would it be the U.S., since I have only been living outside the U.S. since 2013? I already have completed a letter that shows that I have a bank account, mailing address, voter registration card in the U.S., however I'm not sure whether with this I am proving that I have U.S. Domicile or that I am re-establishing it. Hence, I don't know what to put in the form. Can someone help?

I have another question about Sponsor's Household Size (PART 5)

If the number is 28 is 1 (person you are sponsoring in this affadavit), and I enter 1 for myself, that's 2. But then if I enter and "1" for my spouse, that's a total of 3 for #8 (household size). That seems really strange, considering that we are counting my husband twice. Is that the way it is supposed to be? Really, my household size is only 2.

Finally, I read somewhere that since I am only earning income abroad, that I should put in Part 6, question 2, that my annual income is $0. Is that correct? That means that since my husband is working in Spain as well, we can't use any of his income either, so question 15 would also be 0?

Sorry, I know it's a TON of questions. But I would forever grateful if someone could help me out.

Thanks in advance.

Ah, I see. I got it. However, I didn't mind that other post being there. It could have been helpful. But rules are rules, I guess. ;-)

For my mailing address, I have put my parent's address in the U.S. because this is what we used for the I-130 mailing address. However my physical address will be in Spain. Is this ok? Yes. I put both addresses as our address in Australia.

The thing that has me the MOST confused is the country of Domicile. Would I put that it is Spain, in this case? Or would it be the U.S., since I have only been living outside the U.S. since 2013? I already have completed a letter that shows that I have a bank account, mailing address, voter registration card in the U.S., however I'm not sure whether with this I am proving that I have U.S. Domicile or that I am re-establishing it.

That seems really strange, considering that we are counting my husband twice. Is that the way it is supposed to be? Really, my household size is only 2. Don't count anyone twice. You put 1 for you and 1 for the person you are sponsoring. Put 0 for spouse

Finally, I read somewhere that since I am only earning income abroad, that I should put in Part 6, question 2, that my annual income is $0. Is that correct? That means that since my husband is working in Spain as well, we can't use any of his income either, so question 15 would also be 0? ​That's my understanding but I have a job to go to in the US so I used that info.

Thanks in advance.

My answers are in blue. Hope that helps. We started the process while I was living in Australia with my husband.
