Sponsors must be either USC or LPR ..,you are in a period of authorised stay but not an LPR yet.  The GC is evidence of LPR status ... no GC means not an LPR . 

So mo, you are not eligible to sponsor or co sponsor or joint sponsor him

As a sponsor I mean to say house hold member.My father who is having green card,is the primary sponsor and he will file form 864.

Can you please explain requirements for household member who can file i-864 A.Does the house hold member still need to have a green card then only they can file?

I’ve just read through the instructions for the 964a and it does not ask for evidence of USC or LPR status .. so maybe you can sign it ..  waiting for more experienced  others to chime in...

That is what it's there.In the instructions it does not ask to have LPR  status or citizenship.I really want someone to confirm on it,or give more details on it.

I’m not sure you’ll get much more than the information on the form itself 

It does NOT require evidence of LPR or USC status ... hence it is assumed that LPR or USC status is not needed for an otherwise complying household member

"A joint sponsor can be any U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or U.S. national..." 

 

Since you're neither of those, you cannot be a joint sponsor. It doesn't matter that it doesn't ask for proof.
