Is it enough to proof US domicile?

[YellowDuneBuggy 17]

Hi, I'm trying to prove that I've maintained a domicile in the US. I'm using my parents' address. One of my parents is also a co-sponsor. How does this list compare to what you've used?

 

-Car title and insurance

-Valid driver's license from my state

-Bank statements (bank is based in same city as domicile)

-Retirement statements (US accounts, of course)

-Proof of active voter status at domicile address

-Letter of acceptance into a state educator preparatory program. Also a statement from the governor's office to state principals saying I'm eligible to be hired as a first-year teacher. I've been working on the certification requirements.

 

Many Thanks

Have you gotten paystubs from a local employer, not telework or such. That could be your best proof of residence IMO

Have you been filing taxes?

Yes, she filed Federal taxes every year even if (temporary) living with me abroad.

No, she's working here with me abroad remotely.

You have enough but she is not required to show evidence of maintaining US domicile.  She MAY be asked for evidence she intends to re-establish US domicile.  Still, the evidence you list is more than enough.  Don't be surprised if this issue NEVER comes up for you.  It's mostly a Canada issue.

Sounds like enough.  We threw car titles, registration, and proof of insurance on the pile as well.  We kept it up the whole time we were out of the country.

Unfortunately we were asked to do so. We were surprised, to be honest, but it's clearly stated in the Step 5 od the NVC list. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents.html

If you completed Form I-864, I-864A, or I-864EZ and your mailing address and/or place of residence is not in the United States, but your country of domicile is the United States, write an explanation and provide documentary evidence indicating how you meet the domicile requirement.

That's great, but I don't think you were asked to provide more than you listed.  Even the first two and the last on your list is more than enough.  A short note stating your intentions should also be added.
