125% poverty line for the year 2009 is $32,237 for household of 5. You should look for a sponsor who makes more than this.

Keep in mind that 2010 poverty line may be little higher than this number.

if u dont mind another question, my brother is on his own now..though he still stays in the same address.

How does it become 5? how do they decide how many in household? understand they will count me, husband, mom and dad.. but what info do they have on siblings other than to go by dependents on tax form?

Was your brother included in any of your parents' or your tax return?

you see dependents was '4' in 2007 for my parents. it was all four of us. after that, we file separately and my parents file theirs together.

Then your household would be 4, excluding your brother, and combining your spouse and parents.

If they live in the same household, that is, they have the same address as you, they will fill in an I864A.

You may use any and all household members to qualify and your household size will increase accordingly. The combined assets and income must then meet the required guidelines.

Suppose I do go ahead and file as above and if NVC finds I don't meet the 125% level with sufficient certainty this year, what are they going to do? Reject my AOS and ask to find another sponsor and send to them? Or they r going to pass this to consulate where more conditions like bank balance, joint sponsor or anyth else to be produced during interview?

Experts... if my parents file their taxes together, wud it be that both of them need to fill out the I864A for me?

Based on your and your parents' in-consistent income, it would be hard for you to qualify.

Look for any other assets or other strong financial sponsor.
