Income HELPPPPPPP!!!!!

[Lorenzo8 0]

This is my problem, i am self employed and had a business that I closed which ad losses that are carrying over from previous years. I am thinking of having my brother co-sponsor which he lives in another state. On my income taxes it shows a negative income of -18,000. When my co-sponsor submits his last 3 years of tax returns does he have to make enough to bring my negative income to atleast a positive number plus the poverty level of 20k+/- or do they just consider his income and ignore mines?

Correct. The joint sponsor must show enough income to meet the minimum for their own household size plus the intending immigrant and all previously sponsored immigrants, if any.
