Living with spouse (beneficiary) while green card pending

[ArtistKid 0]

I am a US citizen and my wife is a Pakistani citizen.  It seems like our process could take up to 2 years.

 

I want to live with my spouse in her country or a third country while we wait for the visa.  My question is how do you fill out the affidavit of support if you are no longer employed in the US?  Do you get a joint sponsor in this case?  What if I work for a company in the third country, does this cause any problems with proving US Domicile? 

 

Also, let's say I wait until I get the NOA2--fill out the affidavit of support with my current job in the USA--then leave my job after I've been DQ'd.  Should we inform them that I left my job and will it be asked in the interview? 

 

Any other advise or strategies for being with your spouse not in the USA, but in a different country, and fulfilling all the requisites for the visa?

If you have no income. Then yes you would need a joint sponsor. 

 

If you quit working after being DQ'd an updated form is required. You cannot send your wife to her interview swearing all information is current and accurate if you have no job/income. 

 

Working in another country would not necessarily be an issue but you will have to show/prove how you are re establishing domicile. (How picky will they be is country specific)

 

Have you thought about going there earlier and when DQ'd and figure out time to interview plan to  return to the US get a job to make enough for the AOS? This would be the easiest to avoid many headaches with the AOS and intent to establish domicile.

You will need a joint sponsor.

 

As for domicile, as long as you can prove you intend to reestablish domicile on return to the US you should be fine.
