yes, your income that will continue from the same source, can be counted.  Get an offer letter stating you will be transferred once the visa is in hand, at X salary.  State that salary on the I-864 directly, and it will be added to the total.  The form is designed to do that.

Great points Mike, that's exactly what we'll do.

Thank you for the details! I asked because I recently got married in Utah via remote appearance, my husband and I were physically together during the ceremony. I'm glad you got it ironed it, though it sounds like an awful experience. I hope CBP has seen enough of these now that they better understand the rules!

That's a good idea, you've saved me at least $800! 
 
I guess I could continue with my application and kick the kids one around for a while until they're ready to move.
