Yes, that's all true.
You won't either! The US government almost never posts what you are allowed to do... only what you're not allowed to do! If you can't find it, the restriction doesn't exist.
Once your USC husband posts the I-130 to London and it is accepted, he is free to return to the US... and no need to notify anyone. Why? Because all correspondence remains within the UK... none of it goes to the US first and then back to the UK. Unless he's on the sex offender list, a USC is not obligated to tell the US government when he moves and where he lives.

Hi there: We also filed in London at the beginning of November, but on the email Notice of Receipt of Petition it is written that the USC is required no notify them in case of address change:
"Address change – If the U.S. citizen petitioner’s and/or beneficiary’s address changes; the U.S. citizen is responsible for sending a signed letter of the address change to this office at the address listed on the heading of this notice."
My husband is the USC and he is going back to the states in a couple of days so we are planning to send them a signed letter about this...

I have no experience on that and I hope that someone more experienced will be able to advise katq. But if their petition has been accepted for DCF in London, is there any case that they may want to transfer it to the US if they get notified that the petitioner is moving to the US?
In other words, is it safe for katq and her husband to let them know about the move now, before they are granted I-130 approval, when their I-130 is being processed in London on the understanding that the petitioner's principal residence is the UK?

Hmm..ok, I guess we don't have to send the letter then, although I thought that most of the correspondence from now on will be addressed to me. Or I thought we could tell them in this letter to send all correspondence to my London address anyways, but it would be good for them to know he is there so that he doesn't have to prove his domicile with other papers later on...but we will cross that bridge when we get to it, the important thing is that he is free to go now, thanks
USCIS London doesn't 'care' where your petitioner is domiciled.

(sob sob). Hopefully he will get a job soon and by the time we need to submit the Affidavit of Support, he will be able to be my sponsor. Do you know what particular evidence they will need from him to prove his US domicile provided that he will be living there from now on (hopefully working too) - proof of address, employment letter (if there is one), this kind of thing?

Doesn't he need some sort of physical evidence that he lives there or simply putting a US address in the form is going to be enough?

The only thing I am not sure about is the Joint Sponsorship - if we do get one of his relatives to be a joint sponsor isn't the joint sponsor supposed to cover the full amount required or can they combine their income with the sponsor (my husband)? And even my savings? (combined with my husband's)

Short answer is that if a joint sponsor is needed, the joint sponsor must earn enough on his own, for his own household size plus the immigrant. (i.e., the joint sponsor does not combine his income with your husband's income, nor with your savings).
That said, if your savings is significant, it can be used as an asset either alone or in combination with your husband's income. Assets need to be 3x the amount you would have needed in income.
