See this JimVaPhuong's response on SSI.

Your Grandmother needs a co-sponsor.

The petitioner will fill-up the Affidavit of Support even with no or low income. You need to find a co-sponsor, otherwise, visa will not be approved.

Just so you know, the USCIS expects all LPR and USC to have filed an income tax return every year or you need to point to the IRS code that allows you to not file and write an explaination of how that applies in your Grandmother's case. She will need to complete the I-864 and have a co-sponsor that meets the income requirements also complete an I-864. May I suggest that the co-sponsor use tax transcripts from the IRS instead of sending in a copy of the tax return as the USCIS wants a complete tax return whereas the tax transcipt is complete by itself.

Good luck,

Dave
