Hi,
I am at the point of completing my DS-230 form and my Wife is completing her I-864 AOS, but I have 2 confusing questions.
1: As I have to file all my forms with the NVC rather than at the embassy in Dublin, Do I need to get all my civil documents and send them to the NVC or just send the DS-230?
2: This is a doozy. My wife is a dual citizen (Ireland /USA) and there are 2 sections on the I-864 I am unsure about. The first is the Tax information. She has not filed any tax returns since coming back to ireland in sept 07, at which point she came back to Ireland to look after her mother who was diagnosed with altzhimers and it is requesting tax details for the last 3 years. Can I get an exemption for failing to know she had to file or do I need to get her to file and submit the form once the info can be found and entered?
And the second is around her being a sole sponsor. We currently have a large amount in savings that would be ample to ensure I will not be a public charge but I am unsure if she can prove she has a US "domicile". As she came home just to look after and then arrange care for her mother she gave up her US address and job but she still has an active US bank account with a + balance, can she use this as proof of domicile and in turn enable her to be a sponsor or will I need a joint sponsor?
I hope this all makes sense.
