Submit without joint sponsor

[Frappuchino 1]

2018 tax return was not enough to please the guidelines, however, the two previous years were. This current year is way above the guidelines too. So only last year did not satisfy. My spouse only worked for a few months so far. Is it fine to submit without a co-sponsor?

Of course.  The interviewing officer will accept or not based on there review of the evidence

Well, we only have two months of pay stubs and I know they prefer 6 months so I‘m not sure if it‘s too risky

They will likely issue an RFE. Previous two years don't matter much, and the current year doesn't matter much either; it's all about the most recent tax year, though 6+ months of pay stubs in the last six months often work out. 

 

I would line up a joint sponsor. When the interview rolls around, ask to replace the I-864 with a joint sponsor, with the I-864 without, since enough time will have passed--if you wish to. 

 

@payxibka is setting you up for a possible, and likely, RFE that can be avoided.
