Domicile

[kshelton 2]

Hello All,

 

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but here goes.

 

We are in the NVC stage. We are applying for IR-1 / CR-1 visa for my wife. We married in China on July 4, 2016, so by the time we get to interview stage it will have been over two years. We have been together now for 3 years total. We just filed her DS-260 last week and are gathering documents at this time.

 

My question pertains to proof of domicile. I have been lucky because I work in China probably 75% of the year, and get to spend this time waiting for the visa with my wife. We have a nice apartment there but I also maintain a home in the US. I don't know if the consulate will require that I provide proof that I am maintaining my home in the US because of the time I spend in China. I know that if you live in China full time you should provide proof that you are maintaining your home, bank accounts, investment accounts, etc. in the US, and must provide proof of all of these things.

 

Anyone else have a similar situation, or have experienced this? I don't think this will be a problem but we want to be prepared if they bring it up. I will provide my lease for my US home but I really do not want to have to collect financial documents from all of my accounts. We will interview in Guangzhou consulate.

 

Thanks!
