From what I understand, a DL is enough of a domicile proof if your current livelihood is in the states. If you are sponsoring your spouse and you both reside outside the country, a DL may not be enough.

We are at the NVC stage and we live abroad together. We have a joint sponsor for financial assistance. The CEAC website asked for the joint sponsor's proof of domicile status as one of the required documents, which we provided (driver license), but strangely it did not ask for the primary sponsor's proof of domicile status. We are thinking maybe we should have sent a letter as part of optional documents indicating the primary sponsor's intention to re-establish US domicile status along with some other concrete steps the sponsor has taken so far such as renewing a driver license, maintaining bank accounts in the US, voting records. We do not have anything more to show at the moment. The sponsor might look for a job; we are telling them that we will initially stay with the sponsor's parents in the US. Our lawyer claims that we do not need to submit additional such documents at this stage and that we will be directed by NVC to provide these at the interview stage. I am nervous and the last thing I want is an RFE from NVC that will delay our case by approximately 3 more months. Because it's only been a week since we submitted all the documents, I am trying to convince my lawyer to submit these additional documents and furnish maybe a statement for us. I absolutely do not understand why we are taking this risk of getting an RFE in the first place. Do you think we should go ahead and provide a letter that says the sponsor is trying to re-establish their US domicile status and whatever other documented evidence we have so far? Why is the lawyer telling me not to submit additional documents at the risk of an RFE in the future? I don't see no harm in submitting extra documents at this point.
