Canadian proof of domicile - NVC or Interview stage?

[dirtpile 0]

To immigrate to the U.S. (i.e. petitioner to bring Canadian family to U.S.) I've read you need to prove to the embassy that you have domicile in the U.S. - i.e. a job offer letter, apartment lease, both, or other.

My question is: do you need to have proof of domicile when filing the I864/AOS package to the NVC? Or can you file the I864 (and of course the accompaning DS230 package for beneficiary(ies) ) to the NVC, get an interview date AND THEN before the actual interview have a job/apartment/proof lined up? In other words, will the NVC approve and forward along to the embassy and will the embassy set an interview date without proof of domicile?

At what point must this be secured?

Thanks.

The embassy wants the proof of domicile not the NVC. Please see the Canada section and the pinned topic on domicile issues.

so if you make it through NVC and are assigned an interview date and then can't prove domicile does everything reset? or do they send you away until you can prove it and then you just do the interview and are done? any insight into how that would work?

You are sent away until you can prove domicile in the USA. Usually ends up the US citizen moves back to the USA without his/her family and gets all the papers then sends them in. Then within a few months the visa/s are issued and the canadian family members can move to the USA.
