What does this mean and questions on Assets

[Luckywife2007 6]

First of all, I need to ask exactly what does this mean? I read the following on one of Trailmixes posts and found many of her's helpful. Here is what I am referring to as I need to know what this actually means?

In the case of a sponsor who comes to the United States intending to establish his or her principal residence in the United States at the same time as the principal intending immigrant’s arrival and application for admission at a port-of-entry, the sponsor shall be deemed to have established a domicile in the United States for purposes of this paragraph.

Also,

Can I use my bank account here in Turkey as proof as assets or do we need the money in a US account? There are 2 of us so that would be $18,212 x 3. Somewhere I read that it had to be 5x and other places 3x. Just need to be sure as to have all ducks in a row and none left out "wading in a puddle"

Thanks!
