Another question regarding DS-230

[ladyynara 0]

I've just read the instructions to this form and now have a question.

The part that says the sponsor has to "You intend in good faith to reestablish your domicile in the US no later than the date of the intending immigrant's admission or adjustment of status. "

I'm not sure how we can do this! We're currently both in the UK, he has a job, I am a full time mother. We will have a joint sponsor of my husband's mother who lives in the US. We intend to live with her. Our children are not quite of school age yet (almost 4 and 2.5). How do they expect you to agree to a job/lease etc months before the immigrant has been approved especially as the sponsor then has to be with me at point of entry?

Also, my MIL is going through a divorce from my FIL. Will that affect her being our sponsor? If it does we're stuffed argh!

No need to stress about this bit really. All it is saying that you intend to establish domicile upon entering the US with your husband - which you do. It's okay that you will be living with your mother at first. It's referring to the date of admission to the US with the visa, not the date of applying for or receiving the visa.

As long as your MIL has enough income on her own, the divorce should not effect anything. If the divorce is not final before she signs the I-864 though, your FIL will need to be included in the household number. But I think you said she makes $32,000 (unless I'm confusing you with someone else) which is still plenty even with the FIL included in the household number.
