The petitioner is always the primary sponsor, regardless of income.  A qualified joint sponsor can be used, and both the petitioner and joint sponsor submit I-864s.

Thank you for the response, still not clear regarding the form I-864(s):

 

-Is their an implication for the petitioner not having a current individual annual income (that is $0.00) since the primary petitioner is a student.

-Does use of a qualified joint sponsor (household member/spouse) override the Zero income of the petitioner? 

-If using the income of the spouse of the petitioner(household member) to meet the income requirement, does the spouse fill out a separate form I-864 just like the petitioner, or does the spouse fill out the form I-864A?
