please help; assetts, job and domicile; not dcf

[aynom 0]

Another circumstance and hope for help. Married in US; husband Italian. Lived with spouse and children in italy for 2+ years. Chose to move back to US and go for green card for spouse. To prepare domicile we sold our home in Italy, purchased a home here in Fl for $40,000. After two months, found a job as a newspaper courier. Some questions before now answered. Every Fri, receive a printout of income as well as check (make copies each week). Have added income after 8 weeks. Weekly amount consistent at $480 wkly (at times....more). Brings us $5800 below level. Unsure how valuable but boss is waiting for husband to give him another similar route with same income; has written a promissory letter to that effect. We plan to work together.

Savings began considerable 5 months ago; went down a lot through two households, surprise home problems, new reliable vehicle, travel for myself and kids from Italy, lawyer, etc. Assetts still maintaining in bank in cash alone with a viable trail and history to disallow fraud. House still current.

Question. We have the option to sell this home (have already had an offer from a neighbor) and rent to own a home that is in the middle of our routes (making gas spent and maintenance minimal; travel close to 30 miles to work now). We can also hold this house, rent the other while showing the intent to sell as neighbor is clearing land and in no hurry for move in. We are now becomming worried as our savings has gone down so much due to this move. We are still within the line with income, savings even without the house but are wondering if we shouldnt remove the question of whether the last assett can be liquidable without due hardship and if it would slow things to do while waiting for the package with I-864 paperwork. Have been at my job now for almost 3 months and am a valuable worker for them; my future and my husband's is secure there. Worried for the judgement of the consular on assetts, etc and want it right. Neither of us can do this for another year and neither can my children; we don't want to but if it comes to waiting after a denial for another year we will return back to Italy where my husband is waiting and having a difficult time without us. I have work here and a life for us as a family; we don't want to do this.

Any help on the best options is appreciated. Have lawyer but not really getting answers.........
