So for you to understand my sponsor is 72 and she is using her SSA income to sponsor me and I’m 34 she is a US Citizen 

Now that makes sense.  Technically, the income qualifies but you have some very big other issues working against you in terms of actually obtaining a visa.  Your wife is 38 years older than you, and you are a native of Ghana, probably the second highest level of US immigration fraud in the world.  (Second to Nigeria)

 

The combination of much older, female, low income petitioner, and a male from Ghana fits a very common fraud scenario.  A joint sponsor is not going to overcome that.  The only thing that really can, is evidence of lots of time spent together in person.

 

How much time have you been together with your wife in person, total?  How many visits?  How long have you been married?

Can social security income use for i864

[JeanneAdil 6,723]

Yes, because sponsorship is determined by the expected income of the current year (as opposed to the income on the previous year's tax return) disability, workman's compensation and Social Security can all be used to qualify to sponsor an immigrant.May 24, 2018

I do get 25k I’m a good to go

[JeanneAdil 6,723]

if u do do a tax return is SSA or SSI would show in the non taxable income

but at this point you don't even need to file (if this is your only income and u don't withhold any for federal taxes)

and u should get a letter form IRS to state u do not file is that's the case

 

but $25K is low to live on so hopefully your spouse can work and help with expenses

the income part is totally up to the CO at interview and the CO will view the totality of circumstances

 

remember the spouse is not eligible for medicare with u so spouse needs to work and buy health care insurance or u buy it
