I-129F - Proof of Domicile necessary?

[forgetmypen 2]

Do you need to have proof of domicile in the U.S. for the initial I-129F stage of the K-1 visa? I am really having trouble getting a clear answer on the domicile issue for I-129F/K-1. I would greatly appreciate any insight.

I have lived outside the country for almost 5 years (2 of them with my fiance, including right now). All of my info on our G-325A forms reflect this and I wonder if this is going to be an issue. I have maintained my driver's license, bank account and voter registration in my home state and have copies of (license, voted ID and bank statements) on hand.

I will be moving back to the U.S. this summer to begin a graduate program, so I will be in the U.S. by the time my fiance goes in for her interview/begins to get ready to move to the states. Also, I have begun to make moves to begin my transition back. I have my admissions letter to the U.S. university (which is signed and indicates my acceptance of the offer) as well as a copy of a international bank transfer of a few thousand dollars back into my U.S. bank account in January.

Also, I will be use my U.S. address as my mailing address, which is my parents address as well. This is the address on my bank statements/drivers license.

Is it necessary/wise to discuss this now? I was thinking of putting together an Attachment explaining my situation, but I don't know if it is necessary or would be of any help.

Thank you ahead of time.

Have you already started the K1?

If you live in a country that has DCF you could do that instead of a K1 visa.

If you were to get married.

Perfectly fine to file the I-129F while living abroad. You do not need to prove domicile to file the I-129F.
