Hello,

I recently got an approval letter for my husband's I-130 application. I am a full time student and don't make enough to sponsor my husband, however, my dad who I am still a dependent of also does not meet the minimum income requirements, and a family friend who is willing to be a joint sponsor also does not meet the minimum requirements. Can both my dad and the family friend (joint sponsor) provide combined sponsorship for my husband?

 

I just got off the phone with a USCIS officer and I asked her this question several times, and she answered yes and stated that they both would just need to fill out the I-864 form. I also asked her if there can be more than 2 sponsors, in which she answered yes. I just wanted some clarification, thank you in advance.

I doubt you spoke to a USCIS officer.  You talked to somebody at a call center we refer to as the misinformation line.

 

You'll need a qualified joint sponsor, somebody who qualifies on their own.  You cannot combine income of individuals unless they are qualified members of the same household.  Start by becoming an A-Student of the I-864 instructions.

 

Your other option is to get a job.

Thank you for your response. I do have a sponsor who meets the minimum requirement, however, he has sponsored his mother-in-law before, but she has not returned to the states in over 2 years so technically her residency has expired. If I take this persons sponsorship do I need to show proof that mother-in-law is no longer on his list, or will this be automatically removed?

Not automatically be removed, but if he knows she is no longer a resident, he would just not count her.  That said, if he barely qualifies for his household size, that's probably not a good choice.
