Hello.
I'm preparing to sponsor my wife to obtain a US Green Card. I hope to file the i-864 form as her sponsor. I have been living abroad for nearly 20 years and am planning to move back to the US together with my wife once her Green Card is obtained. In reading the instructions for i-864 I understand that the sponsor must be domiciled in the US. If the sponsor is not domiciled in the US then they, as far as I can understand, have to prove with hard evidence that they will travel to the US together with the immigrant at the same time and then, immediately, establish a domicile. It seems that providing a variety of evidence supporting this is recommended. One example is a job offer, or even potentially a documented job search/interview. I also wonder if as another piece of evidence I can provide a written agreement between myself and my father, who resides in the US, that my wife and I will live with him after arriving in the US. Would a well written document to that effect help to substantiate that I am intending to establish a US domicile concurrent with our move to the US?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
