I am a U.S citizen by birth living in Egypt .I want to apply for the green card for both my husband and my baby whose 7 months old. I don't have a domicile in U.S as I haven't lived there. Can I prove domicile without traveling alone to U.S and leaving my baby alone during the process?
The question of domicile usually comes up at the time of the consular interview for the immigrant visas. At that time, you would be asked to show that you have some domicile in the country. Items that the consular officer may be looking for would be a job offer from the US, transfer of bank accounts to the US, purchase of a residence, registering to vote, etc. I also note that if you have the required residence of having lived in the United States for five years prior to the child's birth, two which were after the age of 14, your child is a US citizen and you should be able to obtain a US passport for the baby so that the child travels with you to the country.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
