Bank Docs w US Address Supporting Joint Finances Abroad

[morlee 0]

If I use a US bank statement, which includes a US address, to demonstrate joint finances with my wife, accompanying an i-130, and at the same time use other documents to demonstrate living together at an address in a foreign country, is that a red flag for the reviewer?

 

Maybe a stupid question, but I am of the understanding that millions of American's keep US accounts while living abroad and in order to do so, they use family homes and relative's US addresses. This must have come up before.

 

Thanks

I cant really help with your question of it being a red flag, but when I lived in Ireland with my fiance I kept my US bank account. I used my parent's address then. Since moving back to the US, I still have my Irish bank account and use our US address for that.

I can't imagine why it would be a red flag........seems perfectly fine to me.

Yes, I think it's common. I'm just wondering if anyone has used both their US bank account address and their foreign address on different supporting documents to verify claims on an i-130. I don't feel they're conflicting and maybe reviewers have seen it a lot. I've read on immigrant attorney blogs and older posts on various forums that things like conflicting addresses that raise red flags and maybe I'm overreacting. 

 

But I appreciate the responses, this forum is the best I've encountered on these subjects.

Actually, having a US bank account might be helpful in establishing evidence of US domicile......
