Re-establishing domicle while earning income in Canada (split topic)

My spouse is the USC and has lived in Canada with me for the past 7 years.

We just received an AOS checklist asking to submit GROSS income on a new AOS. This was the only item that came up on the checklist.

When he filed the AOS, he listed all of the many and concrete ways he has been re-establishing domicile in the US since we began the visa process. His earnings are mostly in Canada and are taxed here and his 2013 1040 shows a negative gross income.

Will the fact that he was earning pay in Canada but is re-establishing domicile in the US be sufficient once we re-file the I-864 reporting the negative gross income?

Thanks very much

Will his job in Canada continue after the move?

If he has a negative gross income I'm not sure he can use that towards the I-864...

His job won't continue in Canada. However it occurs to me that he does have Business Income which I believe will help fulfill the income requirement. I hope so.

I've wanted one for a while but they have double coats and are smaller than what my husband wants for a dog. :( But I think they're awesome. /drools

I think we'll be getting a GSP when we get our fence fixed. Be good for both of us to have to take the dog for a run every day (or twice a day LOL) :D
