I'm still trying to decide which is best. I will need my mom to help sponsor my wife because I'm unemployed even though my tax return shows well above the guidelines. I filed DCF and am currently living in my wife's country with her. I guess a co sponsor combines income to meet the guidelines and has to be related and living at the same place. A joint sponsor doesn't need to be related but must meet the guidelines on their own right? Anyone have any experience with either of these?

I bet you do both your I864 and your co-sponsors I864 to play safe.

Actually I'm going to have my mom file joint sponsor since money with her is not the issue. I can't find any benefit of having her to file co sponsor. It would be easier to file joint. She was remarried and she would have to dig up documents showing her relationship to me which while it's not impossible, it would be a challenge to guide her.
