affidavit of support poverty guidelines

[L179 1]

Hello.

I am really confused about this poverty guidelines thing.

I will be the main sponsor for my husband however, i am currently living with him in Pakistan, thus i have no income to show.

My father with be the co-sponsor. Per the poverty guideline he should be earning USD 26,500 to be 125% above poverty level as there will be my parents and us as a couple in the household showing a total of 4 people.

Now i also read somewhere that the income of a co-sponsor will only be counted as 1/10th towards the immigrant.

In the instructions for I-864 it says that primary sponsors income will count 1/3rd of the difference towards beneficiary and co-sponsors will be 1/5th.

So now if my father makes USD42,000 would that mean 42,000 minus 26,500 and then the difference or how the hell does it work???

PLS HELP!
