Proof of Domicile?

[Mary Bernard 17]

my father is petitioning my sister who lives in the Philippines.

 

I'm scanning all documents needed.

I've come across proof of domicile.

What is that?

[geowrian 22,337]

Where does he live? In the US or abroad?

If he lives in the US, his domicile is the US and it shouldn't be an issue. the question only comes up when the petitioner is living abroad.

 

Also, DCF likely does not apply here. It is only available when the petitioner lives abroad and under exceptional circumstances for most embassies & consulates (including Manila).

He is living with me here iN Hawaii.

 

I put myself, my wife n my mom as a household member for affidavit of support. And it says proof of domicile missing in the ceac website.

 

Can I just scan my US passport or driver's license,

 

Then probably scan my moms bank statement?

 

My mom n dad are LPR they just came here Feb 2019

The passport does not prove where anybody lives. Most Americans living abroad probably have a passport.

An active driver's license is good evidence. Utility bills would probably be good as well. So is a mortgage, lease, or other housing agreement.

There's a few other items you can include listed in the NVC wiki under "Domicile": https://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

 

I'm trying to understand what exactly was sent and by whom...

Your father, the petitioner, must have filed an I-864 packet. His household size would include at least himself, his wife (I'm assuming he's married to your mom), and your sister. It's unusual to have to show domicile in his case, but if they want to see it, then provide it.

Do you all (you, your wife, and your mom) live together? If so, I'm assuming that's why you said you wee all household members. Each of you would have provided an I-864A (including evidence of income/assets being used, + a copy of the most recent year's tax return). Your dad's household size would then also include you and your wife as well.

so my dad n mom only came here Feb 2019. So they only got one year of tax return. So we are joint sponsor, me my wife, my parents are joint.
