Hi All,
I don't want to be running around getting all my paperwork done the second NVC calls for it, so I'm trying to be prepared. However, I'm running into a lot of questions because I don't think my case is very "standard".
I am the US Citizen (birth) petitioner for my Indian husband beneficiary living in India. I filed the I-130 in the US and immediately left to India to wait with my husband during the processing. I have been here more than 5 months now, so I know that will bring up the question of Domicile.
Only thing I'm wondering now is when to include this address we are living at. I filed with my permanent residence address (I live with my parents, so the residence is maintained) and all correspondence will be going there as I find mail delivery in India not so reliable.
In the NVC packets coming up, I don't know whether to put my US address or where I am currently in India. Specifically on the I-864 form. And then as well for the DS-230 which my husband will have to fill out.
The wording on the DS-230 is very confusing to me. It asks for spouse's name and then address (if different than your own), but then later says "person(s) named in 14 and 29 who will follow you to the US now"...14 is spouses name (me) and if he puts that we are both living in India, won't it make them think I am also immigrating? I"m so confused! The I-864 asks for a mailing address as well as a seperate area for residence. Should I put my Indian address there and my US address as mailing address?
In the case of proving domicile, should I have my parents notarize a letter stating that I continue to receive mail & bills to that address & will be living there upon my return? It is my parents' home so I have no utility bills, mortages, rent, etc in my name. I have voter registration, license, and US cellphone bill that I pay monthly still to maintain my US number even tho it is temporarily turned off while I am overseas. I can also correspond with them about reinstating service and provide that email as evidence to re-instate domicile.
Its t just the issue of addresses and what I should put where that is throwing me off, because initial I thought everything should be the same across the board, but now I don't know. I don't want something like a wrong address to screw everything up.
Please any advice you have would be greatly appreciated!
