Here's my status:

I am a USC, and have lived outside the US since I was a child.

I declared Foreign Earned Income from 2006-2009, 2010 and 2011 I did not declare because I took time off work during my pregnancy and the first year of my child's life. Then in 2012 I declared foreign earned inome and now in 2013 I am self-employed and paying taxes in the US (no exemptions) even though my income is still foreign earned but through self-employment. My income is above the threshhold.
Will I be able to sponsor my husband and childalone?
If I try to sponsor and the NVC doesn't accept it, will they ask for a co-sponsor or deny the visas?
I'm a little worried about this when it comes time to submit the I-864.

For this it can depend on the embassy/consulate. If the income will continue in the USA then it "may" be allowed. However I have seen where people have been told to get joint sponsors despite of that.

I would try to get through with your income. Do the best you can to show that you would continue to have an income once you move to the USA (you may need to provide proof of reestablishing domicile btw) but also be prepared to have a joint sponsor lined up and available if required after the interview.

In my case, I'm sending letters from 3 or 4 companies saying they will continue to give me freelance work, despite where I live (and the letters are going to be from at least 3 different countries). DO you think that will help at all?

(Sorry for hijacking the topic!)

It would certainly help but I can't guarantee obviously that it will give you the results you want either. It's kind of something you have to try and see. Perhaps someone else will chime in too! :)
