Proving Domicile

[trailmix 77]

OK, now I am all confused:

Wasn't one supposed NOT to make arrangements for move until the visa was granted? I thought as much.... now I wonder if I should bring in the lease agreement (god willing we'll get our apartment today!!!). HELP!!!!

Len, confused and more insane than ever....

When I spoke with the information line at NVC she told me to send it in and I am going to.

Here is the thing for me. Because of the outlined criteria for proving domicile, we have to prove that:

C. You intend in good faith to reestablish your domicile in the United States no later than the date of the intending immigrant's admission or adjustment of status.

One of the suggestions for proof there is:

signing a lease or purchasing a residence in the United States

So the way I see it, for us, we really need to prove the sale of our house.

Are you proving you intend to re-establish residence or that you were only out of the States 'temporarily'?

Only the foreign beneficiary is not supposed to make arrangements prior to a visa being granted, but Bren as the USC needs to establish domicile. He's not restricted from doing so.

Good luck on your apartment!

well, we're waiting to hear from the apartment company today, so that would go into the stuff i will bring to Montreal. Also, Bren's parents can "rent us" their house and send an agreement like the one you mentioned.- I

Sounds like you've got "domicile" covered then. Let us know if you get the apartment or not.

Well I received my checklist from NVC today.

In reading this I don't think they want my Canadian tax returns, as the operator stated, I think they just want me to fill in my Canadian income for 04/05/06 (I put it as zero - not right).

As for domicile it just states that I didn't prove it. So anyway, tomorrow I am going to send:

1. Letter from my Sister stating we will be living at their address.

2. Letter from me stating we will cross the border together.

3. Quote for moving

4. Copy of my last U.S. bank statement (I just sent details before).

5. Copy of the letter from our lawyer re our house sale on February 6th

I have already sent:

- U.S. tax returns

- Letter stating we will be moving together and where we will be living

- Details of U.S. bank account

Anyway, wish me luck!!
