Your mom, as petitioner should fill up the I-864 even if she has no income. You also have to fill up the I-864 as a joint sponsor. Read the instructions from NVC carefully.

Yes, you can be your mom's co-sponsor.

yes you can sponsor her you need to fill out a 864A and your mom needs to fill out a 864

Yes you can, provided that you are a US citizen or a permanent resident and you meet the the poverty guidelines for your household.

Yes make sure you fill out the right form the first time I sent in just the 864A they asked me to submit I-864, also make sure to send in a copy of your citizenship certificate they asked me for that as well.

Good Luck, I am also helping my mother with bringing my sister who is now 18.

On question 22 I checked d no job since she came to do US.

If she didn't file any tax returns then she must submit a letter explaining what her income was, and why she was not required to file. USCIS prefers these letters to be sworn and notarized. I'm not sure about NVC.

Yep, like stated make sure that it's notarized. My mother did hers in spanish (can be in english though), her statement, "I bobby jo have lived in the US since ... I have not held any jobs or earned any incomes, therefore I have not filed income taxes with the United States IRS" can be pretty simple or as detailed. Just make sure to get the main point in. Good luck.

The NVC does not need the petitioner's statement about not being required to file tax returns to be notarized.

The NVC accepted my father's (the petitioner's) statement which was not notarized.
