Most defiantly you need a joint sponsor. They should have filed last 3 years taxes.

He provides a signed statement that he did not have any income for the last 3 years and is therefore not legally required to file US tax returns.

Follow the instruction for Form I-864.

3 months is hardly a reliable work history. You may want to find a Joint Sponsor.

i know very good 864 instructions and nowhere i didnt read this required how long sponsor need to have job .so please if u know where it is write show me .

There is no requirement, it's up to the discretion of the Consular Officer. On VJ we have read a lot about people's journeys through US immigration and can come up with a decent analysis of what may or may not happen in any given circumstance. So, no, the I-864 instructions do not say you need to be employed for XX amount of time. However, the CO likes to see a good work history, not just something obtained recently. It's in their discretion to ask for a joint sponsor if they feel the employment hasn't been long enough or the amount isn't enough.

Also your husband, as a US citizen, is required to file tax returns no matter where he lives in the world, as long as he makes over the minimum amount required to file.

Or when he lived outside the usa from 2005 this rule of filing taxes for all us citizens came active for everyone after this date so. If you moved outside of the usa before 2005 you dont need to file taxes after that date you must. My husband lived with and witout me in the netherlands for 11 years now so when he moved back 2 years ago he filed 3 years 1 on zero because he did not had an income within the us borders and the last 2 years with income because he worked the last 2 years. This with a note to the nvc that he lived outside the usa for so long.
