NVC. Affidavit of Support and Domicile. I live abroad.

[Caleb J 1]

My petition for my wife got approved and now I'm going to start the NVC process. So far USCIS hasnt sent any emails or mail, but before I am transfered to NVC I would like to prepare. I live in Brazil for over two years now. To establish domicile,in the U.S, what do I need? I have an unexpired driver's license with my old address, an active credit card, active bank account, and a 2012 voter's card and my social security. But I don't have a place in the U.S as of the moment.... Also, My last job was in 2013, ive been working abroad as an English teacher. Would a sponser be enough?

And will these documents be enough for an intent to domicile?

Thanks.

Have you looked at the NVC guide on the wiki?

I did. But for the cover letter to prove U.S Domicile or intent to re-establish i need a license with a permanent U.S address I no longer live in. A U.S retirement fund and investment account I do not have.

The bullets are suggestions of things to add... not requirements.

The I-864 instructions also address domicile, as does this FAQ page from the State Department. Those might help.

Check also to see if you can find information about how your embassy/consulate approaches domicile. Some are more strict than others.

For the I-864, you will be the primary sponsor. If you have not been filing taxes and reporting your worldwide income teaching English (if above the threshold to file), do so now. (Look into the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion so you won't be taxed a second time on that income.)

A joint sponsor would fill out his/her own I-864. The sponsorship requirements are the same as they would be for you.

Your US tax returns for the years you have been living outside of the US will be needed as well.
