DCF London DOMICILE

[Markuk33 9]

Hey, I've saw this a few times on the forum and wanted to double check against you all so I can stop worrying and googling to no end.

 

My wife has resided in the UK with me since November 2019 using the spousal visa. Long story short we decided we wanted to start our life in US. We soon have our house deposit sorted and want to start trying for a baby and led to us to deciding the US was the place to do that, especially since my work are flexible with where I work. Luckily we applied through direct consular filing before they removed the service. I have my medical next week and waiting for interview slots to open up. 

 

Originally she was going to fly back before my interview and start setting up, applying for jobs, arranging a car etc. But with all this lockdown and travel restrictions going on we've decided it's best she stay in UK till we have visa and don't get separated for too long. 

 

So after frantically googling and searching through this forum I saw 2 things;

1. The UK doesn't focus much on domicile, if at all

2. Intent to domicile is also fine.

 

So for intent to domicile we have the following evidence;

1. Maintained her US drivers license

2. Opened her a US bank account with some cheques deposited up to around $4k

3. Email chain with NH state where shes requesting overseas voting ballot 

4. Up to date on tax returns 

5. Email correspondence with petair to get our dog over

6. Confirmation of closing her UK bank account 

7. Book our flights for January with insurance incase they need to be cancelled. Both flying out together 

8. Correspondence with landlord explaining situation and that we expect to be vacating in January but will contact in December as per our agreement if we need to extend further

 

Do you guys see anything missing or to be improved? Her uncle is our joint sponsor if any are wondering 

 

Thanks!

That is correct. Her intent evidence is way more than sufficient. The London DCFs have had a thread going in the DCF section forum since early 2020. Most have interviewed now and report they were not asked anything about domicile or intent. Zero.

 

Also another thread to follow about calendar openings is this https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/750883-london-ir1cr1-expedites/

 

 

The expedites are waiting on calendar. The other spouse visas are not.

Thank you very much for your response. Put my mind at ease and far less stressful sending wife over first during these times
