How can an applicant demonstrate their intent to reside in the U.S.?

An applicant can demonstrate their intent to reside in the U.S. by providing evidence of physical presence and residence in the U.S. This can include documents such as lease agreements, utility bills, tax returns, or any form of documentation that shows the applicant has established a home and is living in the U.S. Such proof is crucial for the application process as it clearly indicates that the applicant has made the U.S. their primary place of residence.

Submitting a job offer or having a family member as a U.S. citizen may show ties to the country, but they do not definitively prove that the applicant is actively residing there. Additionally, immediate registration to vote is not a requirement for showing intent to reside and can be misleading, as voting is typically restricted to U.S. citizens only and does not directly indicate residential intent.
