Proof of domicile for US citizens living and working in the USA

[47313 1]

The petitioner lives in the USA. I didn't submit proof of domicile to NVC on Feb 18 which is my first and last submission.

Do I have to submit proof of domicile?

Has anyone here been DQed without proof of domicile?

Will uploading documents now reset time?

For the typical sponsor who has always lived in the United States, no special evidence is required to prove domicile. The federal tax returns you submitted to NVC itself are a proof of petitioner's U.S. domicile.

How is that the case?  All US citizens are required to file tax returns (as applicable), regardless of where they reside?   Anyone, anywhere in the world can file a Federal tax return.  That, in itself, doesn't prove domicile, imo.  I think each consulate defines what they consider as proof.

I am at NVC stage. I did submit paystubs under proof of income. I don't know what to do next. If I upload it under additional documents section, will it reset time?

You do NOT need to submit anything extra as @Kuchikicorrectly advised. Your taxes, paystub and addresses listed on I-864 / DS-260 are all w US address , therefore domicile does not come into play .

I think you are OK since you have additional documentation.  However, as I stated before, tax returns, alone, do not prove domicile..... Good luck on the rest of your journey.

My point was (and is), that tax returns, alone, do not establish domicile.  Thanks.
