I have read through the forums looking for pieces of information that would fit together well enough to answer my questions but no success. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Context: I am an American citizen teaching abroad for the past four years and I plan on moving back to the US this summer with my foreign wife. The i-130 has been approved and I am working on the next submission package which will include form i-864. My permanent address is that of my parent home. I plan on using my parents address to establish domicile as all my tax returns, bank statements, driver’s license and investment accounts reflect the same address. I plan on staying at my parents house with my wife until I am able to secure gainful employment and rent or buy a home. I have income from my current teaching job abroad but it will not continue once I return to the US. My mother and father will be joint sponsors one and two, allowing us to meet the income requirements. My parents file a joint tax return. My parents will also provide a letter stating that we will be staying at their home with them when we return to the US. I am the petitioner filling the i-864, I am using my parents home to establish domicile and using them as joint sponsors. My wife and I are in Turkey, there is no councilor processing at the embassy here so we must file through the Chicago Lockbox.
Questions:
A. Since I am using my parent’s home to establish domicile should I include my mother and father and on my i-864 as part of the ‘Sponsors Household Size’ in Part 5 Question 21 section G? If this is what I should do would I include their name and income under ‘current household income’ Part 6 question 24 section B of my i-864 then have both my mother and father complete separate i-864a forms?
Or
Should I leave my parents off the ‘Sponsors Household Size’ and ‘current house hold income’ sections of my i-864 and have my father complete his own i-864 and mother the accompanying i-864a?
Or
Do I misunderstand it all and should be doing something completely different?
B. Since my income will not continue into next year should I include my current income or write none in the box of my i-864?
I would be grateful for any advice.
