Did you read the full version in the link? This part:

What if I have not maintained a residence in the United States?

If you are acting as a joint sponsor you are required to show that you have maintained a residence in the United States. However, in cases where a sponsor may have abandoned his or her residence in the United States to live abroad, may have not resided there since a child, or in some cases, may never have resided there, he or she will not automatically be disqualified to act as a sponsor. In such cases, the question becomes do you intend to reestablish a residence in the United States. If this is indeed your intention and you can prove that you have or intend to re-establish U.S. residence, it may be possible for you to act as a sponsor.

You may meet this requirement by showing that you have taken or will take a credible combination of steps to make the U.S. your immediate principal place of residence. Such steps may include finding employment, locating a place to live, registering children in U.S. schools etc. In addition, you should make arrangements to abandon your residence in the United Kingdom; for example obtaining a valuation of your property from an estate agent.

Yeah - I did read it. I guess I should have said that. I suppose the question is whether it sounds like we'd be doing that? Already has employment... housing.. that's the tricky one. We can show that our lease will expire on our current flat in London, too, I guess, and that'll I'll be leaving my job.
