I-864 USC lives and works in the U.K

My wife and I are about to file the I-864 file but looking at the step-by-step instructions there's one big obstacle; my wife is not domiciled in the U.S.

We've been living together in Scotland for almost 2 years now. The only exception I can see being plausible is the one in part 4 (B): "You are living abroad temporarily". I'm hoping that my wife's "Limited Leave to Remain" marriage visa will come under "proof...that a foreign government has authorized a temporary stay". I called USCIS and was given the advice "I don't know, give it a try anyway". I was wondering if anybody has had to deal with a similar problem and if they were able to get around it in a similar way. I really don't want my wife to have to go back first without me as it's important to my family that we're both here until I get my visa.
