An LPR is suppose to live in the US. Does your husband have a re-entry permit for the 2 years that he has been living outside the US?

An LPR is also required to file US tax returns for their worldwide income even if nothing is earned in the US.

You will need a Joint Sponsor.

You may have a bigger issue than the I-864 if your husband is deemed to have abandoned his LPR status by moving back to your country to live without getting a re-entry permit.

It sounded like he was already back in the USA "residing outside the USA till may 2013"?
