OK so she does not want to work, who does?

 

So she can still move back etc and that leaves the issue of sponsorship.

 

So see the I 864 but she either needs significant savings which I am going to assume is unlikely or a Joint Sponsor, does she have anybody in the US who can be a Joint Sponsor.

Yes

Great so just Domicile to resolve.

This had me rolling in laughter. haha 

 

By the way mister [Don't speak unless you can help me], you won't get very far in America with that attitude. We love our freedom of speak and I guarantee you somebody will make sure you know that one day here in America. Lose the attitude.

That's if he ever gets to the US in the first place which seems unlikely at this point since it doesn't seem like him nor his wife is really interested in doing anything to obtain domicile.  

 

OP, members who have advised you wisely on how to obtain domicile; they even broke it down nicely for you.  It's a take it or leave it kind of thing.  If you take what others have advised of how your wife will need to obtain domicile, you will be fine.  If not, you will not be coming here.  It's pretty simple really.

If your wife is uncomfortable doing some items, like moving ahead, can she appoint a male family member who you trust in the USA with a power of attorney which would allow them to make decisions for your wife, open bank accounts etc?  What I am guessing is that your sect of religion is more strict than others and essentially your wife isn't allowed to do these things without you.

At the same time, if somebody can do that while abroad, how exactly does that show domicile or intent for domicile?

Plus, if the petitioner is living abroad for 2+ years, how is it even "family reunification?"

Well perhaps she can accompany the trusted family member? I'm not sure, but I was trying to figure out what the cause of the OP's hold up was.  Likely the same reason the wife isn't here asking.  Likely why the OP refuses to listen to what's been told and asks us to find another way.  

The visa will never be granted unless the OP can find a way to work around this.
