Based on the limited facts you have provided, & without reviewing your documents, you might be okay as the sole Affidavit of Support. However, if your spouse is abroad, then you're dealing with the NVC, which is notorious for being difficult about Affidavit of Support standards. I would highly recommend seeking legal representation, since consular processing is far more complicated than filing for adjustment of status in the United States.
