My mother (LPR) lives with me in the US as a dependent. She applied for my 3 younger brothers who have their interviews in a few weeks. I am the financial sponsor for their visas. The list of interview documents they should bring with them includes proof of domicile for our mother. I am not sure what proof to submit because she does not have any of the documents listed on this page: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/i-864-affidavit-faqs.html#aos18

 

She has a state ID, social security card, medical bills, and I have claimed her as a dependent on my tax returns for the past 5 years. Will these suffice as proof of domicile? I wrote a letter explaining she is fully dependent on me as part of the initial paperwork she submitted. Should I write another letter for my brothers to take to their interview?

You may want to include a couple of affidavits from neighbors attesting to you mother living with you.  I assume you are filling out an I864 as a co-sponsor or I864A as a household member.

This is from Ankara embassy. 

 

Proof of your U.S. petitioner’s status and domicile in the United States (photocopy of a U.S. passport, naturalization certificate, or lawful permanent resident card).

I think state id and a medical bill is sufficient. You may include a utility bill under the name of your mother if you want. But don't forget to include a copy of LPR card.

I assume she does not work, Health Insurance? would be a big one, what does she pay for on a regular basis?

She does not work. I cover all of her expenses, including medical bills. She is an authorized user on my credit cards.

I assumed that so was focussing on what she does have, regular stuff that only a resident would have.

 

If she has medical bills she has medical insurance and that is something a resident has, well you have to be resident to get it.
