Proof of Finance for a petitioner that just moved to the U.S

[Canadian93 9]

Hi all,

 

My spouse (USC) and I have been living in Canada the past 3 year tax years making his income fall below the poverty line in the U.S. However my spouse just moved the U.S and has proof of income for about 3 months making about $2500 per pay check. From the quote below on this website(https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents.html), would it suffice to just provide the past few pay checks as financial evidence without having to add a joint sponsor?

 

Evidence of income: "If you completed Form I-864, I-864A, or I-864EZ and the income reported on this form or your tax transcript reflects income below the poverty guidelines for the year the form was submitted, submit evidence of your income. This can include evidence of current employment or self-employment, recent pay statements, a letter from the employer on business letterhead – showing dates of employment, wages paid, and type of work performed – or other financial data."
