Can a US Citizen living abroad file an I-130 on behalf of a sibling? I know that when the visa becomes available he/she will have to to have a US domicile in order to file the affidavit of support, but can the sponsor live overseas while the priority date isnt current yet? Im assuming its ok since the consulates website lists instructions for US Citizens filing an I-130 for siblings, but I was wondering if anyone here has any experiences on the matter. Also, the I-864 instructions talk about domicile or "intent" to establish a domicile...
Thanks for your help.
Its going to take at least a decade, so go ahead and file and worry later....much later.
lol... So I take it theres no issues with filing, am I correct?
Usually DCF is not allowed for siblings. So youd probably need to file the petition with a USCIS office, not the consulate. But contact the specific consulate for their DCF criteria.
