I am a US citizen and I have lived outside the US for nearly my whole life and married a foreigner spouse 2 years ago and now we have an 8 months baby so I filled the I-130 for my wife and son because we wanted to start living in the US and leaving Egypt as soon as possible.

Currently my wife's and baby's files are waiting for the I-130 approval. Now I need to know what will the NVC ask for me to prepare, and I have read a lot about that I have to verify my domicile which I need to know more information about.

I can get a lease for an apartment in the US, get a bank account, driving license and a job offer in the next few months, so my question is, will that be enough for the NVC as a domicile evidence?

One more thing which is most important, I also never paid any taxes for the US because I never lived for more than months there, but I did pay all the taxes in Egypt, so what is my situation for the taxes is going to be now?

I also need to know if there's anything I should do as a re-establishment?

Please if you have any helpful advices or detailed information I appreciate your help and I am in great need of every helpful idea. Thank you all

use this link : http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/submit.html

I think your domicile is your present address which has paper proof.

Hope the link will be of help

Thanks a lot. I did read that link but unfortunately it didn't answer my question :(

About my domicile, don't I have to confirm that I'm re-establishing my residence in the U.S? and if so, how?

Your taxes I am unsure about, but if you never lived in the USA, you will need to put your domicile where you are living right now, and when interview comes around have proof of re-establishing domicile.
