US Immigration from Egypt

Hello wonderful people!

I'm sure this has been asked million times already, but I hope you bear with me.

My question is...

The case date in the USCIS processing time, is it the receipt date or the NOA1?

Thank you!

Hello all...my husband received his passport with visa but it has a stamp on it that says "cancelled without prejudice". Can anyone please tell me what this means? Thank you

Hi all,

Can anyone going through the Cairo, Egypt, embassy answer this: is a covid test needed for the medical exam?

Thank you.

A little bit of context; Married since 2012, and applied for I-130 for my wife in March 2019, and it was approved earlier this year. It honestly took more time than I thought! So the case was transferred to NVC in March of this year and we frankly weren't quite certain at that point when we would move to the states, as it will depend on when the actual visa will be granted.

Now we're putting everything together to carry on with documents to be provided, and went though the little survey https://nvc.state.gov/aos where this question popped up while looking at their requirements for financial documents

I currently live and work in Egypt since 2015, but I do have a US mailing address (which is where I've been receiving all correspondence specific to I-130). If I answer as "Yes", then it only requires my tax filing documents.

But if i conservatively choose No (which honestly is what I'm leaning towards), it will then ask for proof of US domicile. I have been working in Egypt (and intend to use assets for financial support as part of I-864) but maintained a US bank account, voted in the 2020 elections, renewed my driver's license and maintaining my US cellular phone line (one i've had since 2004!), 401K plan, and stock options in a US account, along with several active US credit cards. I honestly don't know if this will suffice as US domicile. In the meantime, I cannot simply move to the US beforehand just for the purpose of re-establishing domicile there..I have no clue how long the process will further take and don't want to leave my wife and kids for God knows how long. I do intend to travel there with my wife once the visa is granted.

My 3 questions:

1. Should I choose Yes or No for that question?

2. If i choose No, are the aforementioned items sufficient to show US domicile?

3. Can I use stocks and/or fully-vested 401K balance as assets? It covers the 3X poverty line requirements while keeping in mind the early withdrawal tax penalty.

Thanks in advance!

Do you guys having any tracking time sheet for Visa and Interview at Egypt?

Thanks
