You must demonstrate that you have resided in the consular district continuously for at least six months before filing the petition. Individuals who are in the country on temporary status, such as student or tourist, would not be considered to meet the residency standard. We accept petitions on Fridays (except the last Friday of the month) at 7:00 a.m. Please remember to bring ORIGINAL documents of birth, marriage, divorce certificates, etc. If the petition is approved, the petitioner must return to the United States and provide the beneficiary with evidence that the petitioner has been domiciled in the United States for at least six months by the time of the interview. This evidence can include bank accounts, fund transfers to the United States, investments in the United States, employment in the United States, registration of children in U.S. schools, application for a social security number, voting card for voting in local, state, or federal elections, leases mortgages, utility bills, telephone bills, or other mail established in the petitioner's name.

I understand your confusion. In fact you don't need to return to the U.S. to re-establish domicile - normally. Generally you have two options - prove your stay in another country is temporary - therefore you have not really given up U.S. domicile or prove that you intend to re-establish domicile no later than the intending immigrant.

That said, some embassies/consulates may have other guidelines as well. I would ask your friend to provide you with a link to the source of the quote.
