Her valid US passport probably counts as proof of domicile. There's a bunch of other documents and proof she can use. For one, she can say she's in PK temporarily because her family is all in the US. Write statements to say she's in the US temporarily and intends to move back to the US shortly. Does she have a temporary visa? that can also be used as proof of her intent to stay temporarily...

She travels on overseas card.

It will likely take more than her passport and a letter.  She needs to show documents connecting her to the US like bank statements, tax returns, bills, etc.....she's been living in Pakistan for several years.

I read the question.......You need DOCUMENTATION.......

 

Where does she plan to live when you both return to the US?  Where does she plan to work when you both return to the US?    She must show INTENT to continue life back in the US.  She can show plans for the future.

 

Or she can return to the US, establish domicile, gather proper documentation, then submit documents, and you follow after the visa is issued.

It is against the TOS of the vj website to tell other members not to post. 
Missileman  is 100% correct. In spite of  Pakistans customs , you are applying for a visa to

immigrate to the US. USCIS requires all petitioners .. your wife in your case .. to demonstrate that she is either living now or intending to reside with you in the US upon issuance of your visa. You need documentation as stated. She needs to demonstrate this. Passport isn’t enough.

Here you go, The law as written...

The first two bullet points are self-explanatory, but that term “domiciled in the United States” causes many issues and in some cases denials.  U.S. Citizenship and Immigrant Services (USCIS) defines the term “domicile” as the place where a person has a residence that he or she intends to maintain for the foreseeable future.  If a petitioner/sponsor actually lives and works in the U.S. then this is not an issue.

The problem arises when the petitioner/sponsor lives abroad.  The petitioner may still be able to sponsor a foreign national if they can can re-establish domicile in the U.S. on or before the foreign national’s admission into the U.S. as a green card holder.  The petitioner/sponsor  must demonstrate  by a preponderance of the evidence that they intend to establish a U.S. domicile by showing:

• Obtaining employment in the U.S.;
• Registering children in U.S. schools;
• Selling residences abroad;
• Establishing a mailing address in the U.S.;
• Providing a rent/mortgage agreement in the U.S; and/or
• Maintaining and actively using bank accounts in the U.S.

Please note: If the petitioner is unable to qualify as a sponsor because they do not meet the domicile requirement, a joint sponsor cannot be authorized to overcome this deficiency.  This means the applicant’s green card petition would be denied.

No, he has valid points. How does your wife plan to support you with no job, no money, not even a bank account in the USA?????? You will definitely need a cosponsor in order for it to be approved.

He cannot use a joint sponsor, please see my previous post, it says exactly what he needs to do, I believe he is looking for a loophole that does not exist. If OP would actually listen to the well versed members here, all he has to do is have his wife return to the US with their son, and within a month she can literally have everything he needs to follow her. If they get on it ASAP, and don't mess around, he should have his visa in a few months. She would rent an apartment, open a bank account, enroll their child in school, she probably has no residence abroad to sell, so that's out, but she could have everything else on that list, and proof of it within a month. As the well versed members like yourself know, 2-3 months away from your loved ones and family is really a drop in the bucket compared to what some have gone thru on here. I don't know how people go years not being together, you really have to love someone to manage that, and the 8-9 months I did seemed like an eternity to me, so I feel the pain.
