Proving Domicile with NVC or CO?

[moonhealer 0]

Hi,

I am preparing myself for the NVC stage and I have to prove domicile requirement with respect to filing of my husband and kids petitions. I intend in good faith to reestablish my domicile in the United States no later than the date of my husband's and kids admission in the U.S. However I just wanted to know from experienced VJ members that does NVC need a proof of steps taken to re-establish domicile or does this have to be shown to the CO officer at the time of interview. I have already taken a few steps, but will have more to show till my husbands interview is scheduled.

Things I already have in hand include a social security number, voting records, letter from our friend in the U.S that they will accommodate us till we find an apartment of our own,correspondence with banks for opening a U.S bank account[seems difficult to do from abroad after U.S patriot act], correspondence with realty brokers and landlords for apartment rentals and procedures, registering myself with U.S professional education associations with a U.S mailing address.

Still need to register my Kids in school and some more steps I can think of.

I would appreciate a response in this regard.

Tried to cut and paste the I-864 Instructions on Country of Domicile without too much luck, so here's the link and page info:

Form I-864 Instructions (09/19/11) Y Page 5 and 6

Personally I used a lease from a nephew in California, which we scanned and emailed back and forth to get signatures; and the lease amount was for $1 per month and the Embassy in Bangkok had no problem with it. According to the Embassy my domicile was Thailand until I got the signed lease.
