You're filing for K-1 ... generally speaking you shouldn't need to prove domicile because you filed in the US. It's different with CR-1 spousal petitions where the couple might be living together abroad. Has the embassy told you or mentioned that you need to prove domicile? Or have you been living with your fiance in the foreign country?

Generally us K-1 people don't need to worry about domicile at all, so I'm puzzled why you're asking.

I am asking because it was on the amman american embassy website as part of the list of documents needed for the day of the interview

You should of course check with the embassy and in your regional forum here on VJ, but in general ... you don't send explicit "proof of domicile" for a K-1 interview. Your I-134 support documentation already provides most of that anyway (W2 and taxes, paychecks, etc.). Perhaps the page you were looking at was a general page covering both spousal and fiance visas? Because the proof of domicile is far more important and specific for spousal visas.

Check with the embassy to be sure, but I'm guessing you don't need anything at all in that regard. Unless MENA consulates are different, in which case get advice from other MENA people!

there is no general page for both types of visas on the Amman website. Amman has some embassy specific requirements and this is one of them.

A lease, mortgage, rental agreement, voter registration card are examples, even a notarized letter from landlord
