I-864 which route

[trickyspark 0]

I just got the I-864 paperwork and need a little help. My job recently cut back, and I was one of the lucky one's selected. They opted a service contract with an IT company, rather than have an IT guy full time.

When I came back from China, I decided to crash at my parents home both out of the fact, that I just found it comforting to be around people I know, instead of alone in some apartment and to save the money I'd waste on rent and what not so that Ying could decide where she'd like us to live, California, New York, wherever (she came all this way for me, so it's her choice when she gets here).

Since I now only have part time work , I will probably need joint sponsor or whatever. I noticed something on the form about adding income of people in the household related to me by birth. My folks have no problem being a joint sponsor, what I wonder is...should I do the household member thing? the joint sponsor thing?

It's been 8 months since I came back from China and been living here, so I have the 6 month deal covered as well. Originally was going to use my full time job, and parents to show we have way more than enough.

I get a little lost as to what is the best, and what forms to use with which one. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Anyone give me a little pointer on what would probably be best? And what forms to fill out for whatever you suggest?
