Intent to live in USA on I-130 (q 12.a.)

[adventures 14]

Hi everyone,

 

we have just started filling out our I-130. Our situation is as follows:  family with 2 + 2 children living abroad, married for 5+ years, 1 non-US citizen. Intent to

move to the US all together at once. Obviously we don't have an address there yet. But we intent to stay at our relatives for first days/weeks until we have found a place to stay. Can we fill in their address in the question below on I-130? And also later when applying for IR-1?

 

 

Do we need any sort of "proof" or anything like that and at what stages of the process do we need it?

 

Thx for every help, Tom

Yes you may your temporary address that you will stay when you arrive. Once you move, make sure to update address by filing AR-11

Your intent to establish domicile in the US is required at the embassy interview.   The proof would be asked for at the NVC stage when uploading documents.  

 

Showing you filed US taxes and a letter explaining your plans (of living temporarily with your parents until you get your own place), and perhaps with a confirmation letter from you parents, should suffice.

As others mentioned, yes you can put the address of your relatives. We put the address of my parents in law since we are also both living outside of the US, and we had no issues.
