I filed an I-130 for my wife to get here in US and it was approved. I'm going to send the affidavit of support and the supporting docs to NVC very soon. However, I'm wondering if I should get a joint sponsor or not. I am currently unemployed right now because I resigned from my job last August. However, on the last pay stub that I received I noticed that I already met and exceeded the minimum amount of the required income indicated on I-864P. Right now, I'm also on the hiring process and I'll get hired on a my new job in about a month and a half. Should I still get a sponsor? What type of I-864 should I file in my case?

Your current income being unemployed is $0. If you file AOS after getting a new job, which pays more than the income indicated on I-864P, no co-sponsor necessary. Otherwise, you will need a joint sponsor.
