Nope... She would not leave the family...

 

From my understanding that would be an extreme measure. I have been led to believe that as long  as I can prove that she will be moving and be domicile to the US that this would be enough.  for example, a resignation letter from her current work, a lease or rental agreement in the US, bank statements showing transferring of funds, enrollment and acceptance letters from schools in the US for our children, emails and texts of conversations showing our intent.

 

All of which I am building. 

 

Am I incorrect? 

 

Thanks

Like I said Canada is different, best to do some reading.

Are you planning on putting your kids in private schools? Public schools require proof of residence before you can enrol them. For some districts a lease might be enough but for ours it isn’t, you need something “official” (utility bills, correspondence from tax authorities, voter registration etc) at that address as well.

Hi,

 

You're not incorrect, necessarily. You can send all of the above as a package with your wife's AOS as proof of your intent to establish domicile. The rub is they can still tell you it's still not enough, which may require further proof (if you can provide any). As others noted, Canada can be very strict about this and it is recommended that the USC spouse is prepared to move first to prove domicile if necessary. It's totally up to their discretion to decide if they think what you've provided is good enough, but the more the better.

 

My husband and I just went through proving domicile in the US from Canada, and we were lucky - our proof was enough. But I was prepared to leave first, if need be.

This matches up with everything that I have been reading. Basically send everything and hope for the best.

We are kind of trying to make this all work out in terms of timing because of schooling for our young children. 

 

It is what it is....
