Family Immigration
No. If the sponsor establishes U.S. domicile, it is unnecessary for the sponsor to go to the U.S. before the sponsored family members. However, the sponsored family member cannot enter the U.S. before the sponsor returns to the U.S. to live. The sponsored family member must travel with the sponsor or after the sponsor has entered the U.S. However, I recommend for the sponsor to return to the U.S. first and take the necessary steps to show he or she has re-established residency to avoid the "domicile" issue. Affidavits of Support are an inevitable and vital part of family-based immigration. It is important that every sponsor complete an affidavit fully and accurately. If you need to complete an Affidavit of Support, you should hire an attorney to assist you; an attempt to save yourself $300 could result in months or even years of delay in processing.
