I understand that.

 

But what would be the bare minimum numbers in this case? Man with only a wife as dependent sponsoring my partner? 

Whatever it says for household of 3

For some, 8 months is how long it takes to get the advance parole...  Ajustment of status has the benefit of being together, but otherwise a lots of downsides.  Just make sure you both realize that.

 Suggest you look at the timelines for that, as well as for the EAD and the green card itself.  Nothing is fast, or cheap.

So for example, if our joint sponsor only made like 20k a year, but USCIS requires 31k. Could I make up for it with my assets?

31-20 = 11. 11 x 3 = 33. I have more than 75k in assets.

No, that is not allowed. They need qualify on their own

Cash?

hmm so if I was a sponsor, I could make up for it with assets, but not when I have a joint sponsor? 

[Boiler 45,467]

This is more a general comment but car etc not likely to work, now maybe if you have a car collection, but then somebody in that situation is unlikely to need a joint sponsor. Something that has a clear value and is surplus, so not  a house you live in.

You are still a primary sponsor 

but yes to your question

What if I was the primary sponsor with 75k assets, and my joint sponsor made 20k a year.

Is that not enough?

I already answered that earlier.

No

 

That has been covered, and anyway the requirements in CA terms are miniscule.
