No I just got a paper at the interview time saying to bring the divorce papers and my wife’s last w-2 and a joint sponsor 

This paper is telling you what's needed to get your case approved.

SS benefits are not taxable so therefore your taxable income is below 125% so you need joint sponsor. Your wife can ask family members or move and live with you.

The income need not be taxable to qualify.  The above is false.  A millionaire investor with all investments in tax free municipal bonds will qualify just fine, with zero taxable income.  So will my good friend with 6k a month in non-taxable SS and VA benefits.

 

If the exact wording of the notice actually asks for a joint sponsor, the "why" is not relevant.  They get a joint sponsor or there will be no visa.

There's likely far more to the totality of circumstances that we do not know.  What we do know is that men from MENA countries marrying American Women in circumstances they would not consider marrying in their own country, have a hard time, for various reason.  This sounds like one of those cases.  The woman has been divorced six times and is on Social Security.  I suspect the male, is much younger and never married.
