London has a good page of ideas: http://london.usembassy.gov/faq_i864_domicile.html

Domicile

Domicile is a complex concept and must be evaluated on a case by case basis. To qualify as a sponsor, a petitioner residing abroad must have a principal residence in the U.S. and intend to maintain it indefinitely. Lawful permanent resident (LPR) sponsors must show they are maintaining their LPR status.

Many U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents reside outside the United States on a temporary basis. "Temporary" may cover an extended period of residence abroad. The sponsor living abroad must establish the following in order to be considered domiciled in the United States:

• He/she left the United States for a limited and not indefinite period of time,
• He/she intended to maintain a Domicile in the United States, and
• He/she has evidence of continued ties to the United States.

How can a petitioner establish a domicile?

When a sponsor has clearly not maintained a Domicile in the United States, he/she must re-establish a U.S. Domicile to be a sponsor. The aspiring sponsor may take steps, including the examples given below, to show that the United States is his/her principal place of residence

• Find employment in the United States
• Secure a residence in the United States
• Register children in U.S. schools
• Relinquish residence abroad
• Other evidence of a U.S. residence

If the sponsor establishes U.S. domicile, it is not necessary for the sponsor to go to the United States before the sponsored family members. However, the sponsor must return to the United States to live before the sponsored immigrant may enter the United States. The sponsored immigrant must enter the U.S. with or after the sponsor.

Along the lines of that. My wife and I have been accepted for work at the same place. But it's located in a different state than where I have my permanent residence. On I-130, number 18. it says, Address where your relative intends to live. We intend to live in the state where we'll be working, but we don't have an address there at the moment. My only fixed address is my permanent address in the other state. Any idea on what we should put as where we intend to live?

As well the quote reads:

If the sponsor establishes U.S. domicile, it is not necessary for the sponsor to go to the United States before the sponsored family members. However, the sponsor must return to the United States to live before the sponsored immigrant may enter the United States. The sponsored immigrant must enter the U.S. with or after the sponsor.

So, the last sentence seems to negate the second to last sentence. I (the sponsor) don't necessarily have to enter the before my wife (sponsored immigrant), but if so, we better be entering on the same day, i.e. the same flight. Is that correct?

Thanks a mil.
