Put Homemaker then put how long you have been one? Or put unemployed and how long you have been unemployed.

You will need a co-sponsor.

Here is the example form if you need help on filling out the I-864 http://www.visajourney.com/examples/INS-Form-I-864.pdf

Hi everyone. I will be applying for AOS for my husband who is on H1b. i am a homemaker. what do i fill in employment section in affidavit of support. My husband is employed and earns enough to meet the requirement.

If he is on an H1 (or any other legal work permission) you can use his income to meet the requirement if you (the USC) do not. He just has to get a letter from his employer that he is in good standing that that the income will come from the same place after you petition. YOU still need to fill out the form as the sponsor...

This is what the instruction page of the form says (I wish I downloaded them all before I started asking questions ....

Can the Intending Immigrant Help Me Meet the Income Requirements?

If certain conditions are met, the intending immigrant's income can help you meet the income requirement. If the intending immigrant is your spouse, his or her income can be included if it will continue from the same source after he or she obtains lawful permanent resident status. If the intending immigrant is another relative, there are two requirements. First, the income must be continuing from the same source after he or she obtains lawful permanent resident status, and second, the intending immigrant must currently live with you in your residence. Evidence must be provided to support both requirements.

However, an intending immigrant whose income is being used to meet the income requirement does not need to complete Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member, unless the intending immigrant has a spouse and/or children immigrating with him or her. In this instance, the contract relates to support for the spouse and/or children.

In order for USCIS to consider your husband's income, it would have to continue being part of the family income. If you have already filed income taxes for 2010 together as a married couple and your combined income is well about the cut-off line, then they will most likely accept that. If not, then it's possible that they will accept it, but it's not guaranteed.

If the alien spouse's income is through legal employment, then there is no question it is accepted. That's guaranteed.
