Yes, it is a viable plan. Note that actually living in the USA and evidence of that, like a lease and job, are all the domicile evidence needed. One most recent pay stub, will typically be enough, as it will show year to date income.

Written consent from the other Biological parent. This is a country specific question, but is easily solved with a Notarized Letter from the US Citizen parent. If you have THAT, the question becomes moot.

Yes on all. Be sure to adhere to the I-864 instructions, closely and carefully.

1. Yes and yes 2. Yes but not necessary

Clear answers to all those questions can be found in the I-864 instructions. It might be a little unclear as to the location, but NO, they are not required to be in the USA. Moving some of them there early (before I-864 submission a year or so from now) can help establish your wife's intent to relocate to the USA. If she's never lived in the USA, she may need to precede you in securing and moving into some form of residence in the USA.

She would add all the income together and document it with the last annual award letter. Be sure to use the new numbers, as this month's benefits will be higher than last month. Hopefully, it's enough. That's a big family.

Yes, plus any children she may have. When she's ready to sponsor another, her income will need to easily cover a household of 3, if there are no children.

Yes, it's ok.

Yes, and you'll probably need to amend at least your 21 and 22 tax returns, which is unlikely to impact your tax liability anyway. Whether you continue to have ties to the country of your most recent marriage, does not mean it is irrelevant. It's not about your feelings. The fact may well be quite important. Is it some kind of secret? My suggestion that it might be best not to list the bigamist marriage, was not to keep THAT a secret, but rather to be entering accurate information, as you know that FACT today. That you were party to a marriage, you later found out was legally invalid, need not be a secret. Just explain. These things happen. You dealt with it as appropriate and necessary. All who need to understand, WILL understand. It's a non-issue, as long as it is dealt with honestly.

As you move forward, in this process, you will find it is critical to study the form and its instructions carefully. As you do, pay special attention to the little words, or, and, if, etc. They are carefully chosen and (like the rest of the questions on the forms) they are intended to be interpreted literally, and responded to accurately. (as in be sure to answer the actual question asked)

1. Do provide evidence of time spent together in person, like passport stamps and photos, but just enter Not Applicable for the section about last living together, because you haven't yet. 2.
