Proof of Domicile

[Dina99 0]

Hi everyone,

This is very new to me on a forum.

I am joining today because I do need recommendation and helps from you all about the proof of domicile. 

Here are some background of mine.

- Scan date was in June 7th

- Case completed on 9th August

- Now waiting for the interview date.

As I got my case completed, I emailed my lawyer in the USA asking him what documents should I need to be prepare for the interview. And I got a shocking response from him that " If you are not in the USA, you can't petition your husband". I asked him many questions and I asked him why he just told me on? Why not since the beginning of the process? This is really frustrating.

 

Here are our family background:

- Met my husband in 2005. We were in the same class and University in Cambodia 

- 2006, we dated. He told me he loves me and he had to tell me before i left Cambodia and moved to the United State in April 2006. 

- 2006 to 2010 we kept in touch wiyh each other all the time via phonecall, Skype, email,ect.

- 2006 December, I went to visit him and my dad in Cambodia for about 1 month.

- 2008, I went to Cambodia visit him and my dad again. It was 3 months if staying there 

-  2010, I went to Cambodia again. To visit him and my dad. It was 3 months of staying there. 

- 2010, December, my husband came to persuade his MBA in Boston. The main reason he came to the United State at that time is to stay with me because we were so in love with each other.

- 2012, finish his MBA and went back to Cambodia. 

-  2012 June, he proposed me on the phone. His parents were not really happy about our marriage since he is a rich family but I am just an average family. So my husband said his parents agreed to our marriage but he has to create a successful business in Cambodia and give the company to his brothers. And I had plan to take care my dad in Cambodia for a while after getting married.

- 2012 August, I flew to Cambodia and we got married in December 2012. 

 - from 2012 to 2017, I have been with my husband the whole time in Cambodia. We have one Child and he is 2 years old now. My husband ask me not to leave him to the USA he said please stick together and once his business is successful, we will move back to USA and live there forever because we have always planned to settle our family in the US since we agreed on the phone back in 2012 when he proposed me.

- I filed for IV since September 2016 because his business was growing so fast and that he has done his duty that he promised with his parents about creating a successful business and hand it to his brothers so he can leave Cambodia and start our dream in the US.

- I never intend to abandone USA. I keep my bank and transfer money there very often. I have bill from Macy's and Target which I make payment s every months.

- I voted.

- But since 2013 to 2017, I don't work. I stay home and take care my son. 

So now the question is I need to proof of domicile in the US. Can anyone had the same situation and know about this give me some recommendations or please tell me about yours same story about the domicile.

I really appreciate your help.

I am so frustrated about this as the interview day is approaching.

So you are a naturalized US Citizen now?

Oh thank you so much for the quick reply. I did not expect that fast. Yes I became neutralized since 2012 April.

regarding petitioning out of the USA for spousal visa, i am not sure (others would answer it). 

What other ties you currently have with the USA? Kids? relatives? 

Any properties? Physical addresses? 

Up to date with filing tax?

I have a son who is a US citizen already.

I don't have any registered address in the USA now. But I still receive mails at my mom's address which I had lived with her before. I haven't work since 2013 because my husband asked me not to work and take care of my son in Cambodia. So I didn't file tax for the last 3 years.

I do have my mom, sister, and brothers in the United State .

One thing I wish I known before filing is about the proof of domicile.

You need to file for taxes even if you do not earn anything or provide an evidence why you are not filing (this is from what i read over here).

I hope a more experienced forum member can chip in with some advice.

I didn't know much about tax. I thought I didn't make enough, so I don't need to file tax return. Yes, that might be a problem too. Hmm, another worry. This is very new for me on the forum. Could you please help me spread my topic? If you could. I am not sure how but I think you might know better than me. Thank you.

If you use the search option on the site, you will find about thousands of similar topics with people asking about domicile. Good luck.

Previous poster already posted some links. There is really an abundance of info about domicile here.  People ask about it pretty often.

Dear abumiqdad,
