DCF Manila Embassy - Proof of Residency

[Lhanz0729 52]

Hi guys!

My husband will be filing i-130 together with CRBA for our newborn next week in Manila Embassy and all we have to prove that he's been living in the country for more than 6 months are our joint Lease Contract (which we just got this month), his tourist ACR issued by PH immigration and the stamps in his passport.

Will they let us file a petition (i-130) with the limited documents/proofs we have?

P.S. He's been here (Philippines) for a couple of years now.

Any feedbacks and suggestions will be much appreciated.

Hi here's what's listed on the USCIS website:

"

Certain pieces of evidence may more strongly support a finding of residency than others. For petitions filed at this field office, you must submit one or more of the following:

• Resident Alien Card
• Foreign Property Deed/Rental/Lease

In addition, other evidence of residency may include, but is not limited to:

• Utility bills
• Housing lease
• Work contract or other employment documents
• Proof of local registration
• Local bank statements
• Proof of school enrollment
• Vehicle registration
• Valid local driver’s license
• Tax documents listing an address in the Philippines
• Passport entry stamp
• Foreign property deeds or registration (although proof of property ownership in itself, may be insufficient if there is no evidence that the petitioner resides at that property)"

Hope this helps and good luck!
