If you don't have kids, just you and your wife plus your sister you are sponsoring, your household size is 3. If you are not in armed forces, you annual income should be over $23,162. If you meet that poverty line then you just fill out the I-864 yourself.

You will fill out the I-864 with your income. Your wife will fill out the I-864a as a household member.

So, you are the USC and your wife is currently on AOS?

Your wife makes more money than you then file I-864 for your sister and your wife files I-864a.

According to I-864 instructions.

Only assets that can be converted into cash within one year and without considerable hardship or financial loss to the owner may be included. The owner of the asset must include a description of the asset, proof of ownership, and the basis for the owner's claim of its net cash value.

Example of How to Use Assets: If you are petitioning for a parent and the poverty line for your household size is $22,062 and your current income is $18,062, the difference between your current income and the poverty line is $4,000. In order for assets to help you qualify, the combination of your assets, plus the assets of any household member who is signing Form I-864A, plus any available assets of the sponsored immigant, would have to equal five times this difference (5 x $4,000). In this case, you would meet the income requirements if the net value of the assets equaled at least $20,000.
