Reading the form instructions will help you to understand the requirements. You can find the form in the downloads section here on VJ or the USCIS website.

The US citizen petitioner always completes an affidaivt of support regardless of income. They need to supply all the needed documents and/or letters of explination (if the sponsor has not filed tax returns).

A co/joint sponsor would complete an affidavit of support as well and provided all needed documents.

Off Topic: Working a cash job doesn't mean that you do not need to file a tax return. USCIS isn't a tax collector so it won't impact your case.

I assume your wife is the US citizen...

Your wife is the primary sponsor. The primary sponsor always submits an I-864. She'll need to include a copy of her tax return from last year, or an IRS transcript of that tax return. If she didn't file a tax return then she'll need to include a letter explaining why she wasn't required to file a tax return. Not having enough income is a legitimate reason not to file a tax return.

Your co-sponsor must be a US citizen or LPR, and must ALSO live in the United States. They will also file an I-864. They will also include a copy of their most recent tax return or an IRS transcript of that return, in addition to proof that they are either a US citizen (copy of birth certificate, passport, certificate of naturalization, etc.) or an LPR (copy of green card).

The I-864A is used when a household member living with the sponsor, or dependent of the sponsor, is willing to add their income to the income of the sponsor to help them qualify. The household member or dependent would sign an I-864A. A typical scenario is when the sponsor and immigrant spouse are living with the sponsor's parents - the sponsor's parents can sign an I-864A.

first, Thank you so much guys really help a lot for me

now, another question is my wife have been file tax as an dependent to her mom(U.S. PR), and her mom's income is not reach 30,000. so i think she's not qualified to be sponsor. so in this case do we need mention her mom's income or assets on my wife's i864, or my wife can fill in she's unemployment and income is zero. and attach a paper explains she is student and not working.

i know it's little complicated, but we just want a easy way because my friend's income is sure enough to sponsor.

thank you

any co-sponser or joint sponser MUST submit another I-864 (or I-864A) - is no concept of 'adding in information' on the primary sponser's (yer wife's) I-864 that reflects any income from any other person.
