Clarification at Affidavit of Support & Domicile Stage

[Christian And Van 6]

So, I have been following for some time and reading what I can about domicile and supporting the move of my spouse and I to the US as our case will likely move to NVC stage within the next 2 months.
I wanted to try and not ask anything that has already been asked - but have some clarifications I am seeking guidance on that are specific to our case.

My spouse and I met in a 3rd country (Portugal) which we are both temp residents of ( have been for 5 years each). We are doing the whole process here and our consulate is in Paris since Lisbon doesn't do the interview anymore. I have lived outside of the US for 6 years, but have voted and maintained my Minnesota DL (I went back in 2022 to renew it to make sure it didn't expire). I mail my vote from the US embassy here in Lisbon.
From my understanding those 2 things along with a letter of intent for our plans to move to Portland (SHOULD) be quite sufficient for my intent to reestablish.

Additionally:
I work for a US company and have been getting a 1099-INT for half of 2021, all of 2022, and am currently going to get one for 2023 - however the company I work for is closing this month (yaaaay job searching) - it will have also earned me nearly the "poverty" limit for 2023 - and am in interviews for another remote US based job (hopefully that happens sooner than later and they could write me a letter - but can't be sure that will happen)
As far as 2022 taxes go, I owe in Portugal this year as I couldn't avoid being a tax resident anymore, so I will file a FEIE (that is the intention but have to complete Portuguese taxes this month first)

My wife's company also already agreed to give her a letter saying they will employ her in the US when we arrive (her salary is even higher than mine when we move) - so that should help I am hoping 

So, 
I feel that I have sufficient proof that I will reestablish domicile -- and 21/2022 tax returns are above poverty line - I also just happen to be getting inheritance this year in forms of ROTHS as well as a smaller direct pay (I suppose that is income / but the ROTHs not if I don't withdraw) - however its an asset? I could also prove that all my assets are in US bank accounts.

I guess my whole rant and giving of information is to have a sanity check from all you kind people that I am correct in my thinking? Am I missing something?

As always,

Thanks!

If you can get a move back with your company then you could look at DCF.

 

Makes me wonder of there is more than one Portland.

[Christian And Van 6]

You mean with my spouse's company willing to hire her in the US when we arrive?

[Boiler 45,499]

No, her job situation is irrelevant, can you get a short notice relocation?

I think I'd have to get the new job first for that to happen, right? - from what I am seeing about the DCF though, it seems that is something to file at the 1st stage? I am expecting a USCIS response rather soon at this point as we already filed back in August 

I'm not sure I understand what the benefit of the DCF would be at this point.

You no longer qualify

The I-130 is already filed, so no DCF available.

Yes, at least two Portlands.

Looks like your domicile evidence is OK.  The letter indicating your wife will be employed in the USA, is both domicile evidence, and what you need to state her USA income once transferred as her current income to qualify based on income.

Thank you!
Its helpful to know I'm headed in the right direction  - just a bit shaken knowing that I'll be losing my current job as they were all ready to write me a letter and all when I needed it - but wont help anymore. 

Not going to lie, I saw you as the main person responding in most of the threads I was reading as was hoping you'd make an appearance here 😝
