There was no problem. The CO said I needed a JS, dispute spouse having over 125% of the poverty level from income that will continue and also some on a 1099-R. May well of submitted a new I-864 to show assets, but just went with the JS and was approved in 3 days.

JS is what? JavaScript. CO = Colorado.
Sorry I'm not an immigration lawyer.

When we file our taxes, we use My Expat Taxes.  Their software asks you to highlight these boxes where you have income and where you might have income.  It then walks you through each source of income with very precise questions.  I’m pretty sure that it asks you if your income is with a foreign employer and if you pay foreign tax.  It does go on to ask you about your foreign expenses and if you are paying for housing in the states.   You can go through answering all the questions and see what it comes out with at the end.  You only pay if you use them to finalise and file for you.

I'm not sure who you are trusting more your tax software to a tax accountant that does this for a living?
