I have a joint sponsor b/c my husband doesnt make enough money and he did not file taxes for the most recent year.We did included his tax transcripts from the 3 previous years.Is that enough?

Since you have already filed with a joint-sponsor, the simple fact that you are now working will have zero impact on your case at this moment in time.

The USCIS doesn't care if you are working or not. They only care for three things:

1) That you are married and were both legally able to do so.

2) That your marriage is legitimate and was entered into in good faith.

3) That your sponsor makes 125% above the poverty guideline.

Ok.The marriage being legitimate is the least of my worries because we've been together for 10 years.What worries me is the fact that my husband's income is not enough,and he did not file for taxes this year.My co sponsor makes more rhan enough though.Will that help much?

Your husband must be your sponsor regardless of if his income is enough and to be that sponsor he must have filed taxes for 2011 tax year, there is no circumventing this. He needs to file an I-864 as part of your AOS package and the tax returns are required for a complete I-864. Now, if your husband's income alone doesn't meet the income requirements then you can add your income onto his I-864 and you should then complete Form I-864A and send in your tax returns also.

If you cannot meet the income requirements between you, then you need to use a joint-sponsor.

I highly suggest that you read the guides available in this forum as well as the instructions to each form before you even start to complete them.
