Joint sponsor

[Ctavarez90 244]

If your joint sponsor did not meet the income requirement on last years tax return but their current income as of this year does then will that be sufficient or no?

Current income is the key. So you should be good.

As @Timona has said, current income is what matters. What stage of the process are you in? Remember you need to support your claims with evidence, so paystubs and a letter from your employer are a must.

I should be getting my petition approved within the next month or so. I just started my second job full time and I get paid monthly so my first full time paycheck from them will be May 20. If I get approved by then I can provide that and a letter from my employer stating how much I will be making yearly. And then when my husband has his interview I will take more recent paystubs as well

If you are still waiting for the petition approval you should have plenty of time to collect more paystubs, to support your current income for the eventual interview, which will be scheduled some months after petition is approved.  You should upload these with the I-864 at the NVC stage in the coming months.  The interview date will depend on the backlog in the DR.  Good luck!

Thanks. I know my current annual income will be like 8,000 more than what I need so I do not think I will need a joint sponsor. I will just provide an employer letter and pay stubs and take the most recent ones with me as well

Note that the pay stub is more important than the employer letter.  It's "or" not "and" in this case.  Ok to provide both but not required.
