Will my current health situation make it more difficult to get approved?

A situation that makes it uncertain the petitioner will ever be in a position to provide full financial support long term, is definitely NOT the reason there's a joint sponsor option.  It is used successfully most often for temporary issues, but the totality of circumstances will still prevail.  We don't know what those are, except that if you don't go back to work soon, you'll go broke.  Is the sponsor really going to support you and your wife, if you don't go back to work before then?  That's part of the "totality of circumstances" Consular Officers are trained to consider.

 

The issue is not whether you have a qualified joint sponsor, but the judgment being made is about the likelihood your foreign spouse will become a public charge.  You don't think it will be permanent.  What do the facts and your doctor say about that?

Yes I understand. I would assume the doctors I was seeing would say that I could back to work because they didn't find anything and never said I couldn't work but with the symptoms I was feeling I just didn't feel comfortable with doing that. I do feel that I'm improving though.

 

In any case the joint sponsor would indeed help us out if we were in the worst case scenario where I couldn't work and she wasn't able to find a job. Plus I do have other family as well that understand my situation that are willing to help. I'm not entirely sure how to convince the consulate officer of that though.

Bold above, is the key.  Better to go back to work, if you can.

Understood. 

 

What is your opinion on the case if I were unable to to work if I had someone that could guarantee that she would have a job waiting for her when she arrives? One of my former bosses owns several restaurants and would be willing to hire her as soon as she arrives as I have a very good relationship with him. If I have my information correct, once she comes into the U.S. with an IR-1 visa, she has immediate authorization to work. If I supplied some kind of letter from him guaranteeing a job on top of my co-sponsor would that be a decent amount of evidence that she would be unlikely to become a public charge?

An official job offer for her would help the totality of circumstances but that would just be a supporting document.  With only money going out and nothing coming in for you, your asset picture is going to deteriorated significantly between now and the interview.  Still better you go back to work.
