Because you are filing jointly, the threshold for a taxpayer with a presence abroad would not apply to you, even though your wife meets  the criteria because you do not meet the criteria. You should use the filing threshold for taxpayers living in the united states married filing jointly:  More than $100,000 on the last day of the tax year or more than $150,000 at any time during the tax year.
