proof of domicile living abroad

[ccece 2]

Hello, i need some help over here, my husband is a U>S citizen , but we live abroad he has been living abroad for over 13 years, so now we upload all the documents thru CEAC, including a letter explaining his intentions to reestablish domicile in the U.S, NVC ask back for more documents about proof of domicile, the thing is he dont have properties in U.S. 

He just open a bank account online on capital one. I have been reading that as a proof of intend to live in u.s you can add things like school kids enrollment, or sale your house ina  foreign country, but for other hand in all the NVC website, they suggest you dont make arrangement to sale anything before you get your visa, so we stock and dont know how to maneuver around this road block.thanks

if your husband live abroad with you, you would need a joint sponsor, you can add it in CEAC, my wife with me abroad, we provided a letter from her mom natorized for proof of domicile its been accepted, and they never asked us to upload for domicile, the only request of domicile was for our joint sponsor, hope this help you wish you the best....

Here are some ideas f from the NVC wiki.

 

Domicile

Please note, if the petitioner lives with the beneficiary abroad, you'll need to provide proof of US domicile with the AOS package, as well as bring it with you to the interview. Please read the I-864 instructions (pages 3 and 4) for information about it. This is NOT needed if the petitioner is living in the US. Here is a sample cover letter to include in the package (it lists MANY possible documents, some may not be applicable, of course, to prove that you have, or will re-establish, domicile in the US):

NAME

SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER

Form I-864

Part 4, Question 5: Country of Domicile

I, XXXX, am currently residing in FOREIGN COUNTRY with my spouse, SPOUSE'S NAME. Below you will find a list of attached documents to show that my principal residence is in the US and the steps that I have taken to return to the US with my family.

I declare that I intend in good faith to re-establish my domicile in the United States no later than the date of spouse's admission into the US.

YOU should not sell your home or make travel arrangements.  Your USC husband may need to travel back to the USA and establish his domicile if he can't find a way to convince the CO of his intent to reestablish domicle. 

Getting a letter from his brother is a good idea.  A job offer would be good as well.
