Yes you can as when adjusting status the IO can/will take the beneficiary's income into consideration.

From the I-864 instructions.

If your income alone is not sufficient to meet the requirementfor your household size, the intending immigrant will beineligible for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status, unlessthe requirement can be met using any combination of thefollowing:

What If I Cannot Meetthe Income Requirements?

Income from the intending immigrant, if that income willcontinue from the same source after immigration, and if theintending immigrant is currently living in your residence. Ifthe intending immigrant is your spouse, his or her incomecan be counted regardless of current residence, but it mustcontinue from the same source after he or she becomes alawful permanent resident.

Income from any relatives or dependents living in yourhousehold or dependents listed on your most recent Federaltax return who signed a Form I-864A;

A joint sponsor whose income and/or assets equal at least125 percent of the Poverty Guidelines. See question belowfor more information on joint sponsors.

I don't know if they give any excuses for asylums, but you could try calling their 800 number and ask a customer representative the question.Although I think that sponsorship rules are the same for anyone, so you probably need to find a joint sponsor (another I-864 and a person's income heeds to be above the poverty line by itself, not including your husband's) or if you live with someone they can help you too as a household member (feelng out I-864A and his/ her income is added to your husband's to reach the poverty line).

I'm sorry if I wasn't very helpful, I think you should contact USCIS in this metter, good luck!
