Help Please RFE and a tough situation

[Estefani22 0]

I am an undergrad petitioning for my husband in El Salvador. Obviously I do not have any income to sponsor him. I submitted I-864 with my parents as joint sponsors, but there is a little problem. My father's income has been for the last three years around (26,000/ 25,000/ 27,000, but this year (2009 income tax returns) his income was low at 12,180 due to investments he made in a new business he started. Any comments on how this could be a problem and how I could better explain it) I have payment stubs for my mother for this year and stubs of money that has gone in to my father's business for this year. Should I just go ahead and submit the 2009 income tax returns, with 2008 and 2007 and explain at the consular embassy??? ANY ADVICE PLEASE

Also my parents file jointly and I probably made some mistakes when I first submitted my I-864, any advice on how to deal in a situation where a couple files jointly.

And lastly, I do not live in my parents home, they live in Texas, while I reside in Chicago (my residence is paid for by a scholarship), yet they declare me as a dependent...Am I considered part of their household size in my father's form I-864.

ANY ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

You don't need an explanation. You need a qualified sponsor. Your "parents" cannot be your joint sponsor. A "parent" can. They state their own individual income and provide a complete tax return including the W2 and 1099 forms, so NVC can verify which income belongs to the sponsor.

If I just received an RFE asking for more information on my parent's income can I submit a new I-864 for a new sponsor/ or would I submit a "parent" I-864 with an additional I-864 of a sponsor that meets the requirements.

Thank You for the quick response
