Affidavit of Support Requirements

Hi everyone, I am the Canadian spouse of a US Citizen and I am applying for an Adjustment of Status from within the US. My questions are on the Affidavit of Support. My husband has 3 in his household size (includes himself and 2 children not living with him). Therefore he does not make enough money to be the only Sponsor. We just moved from out of state and he recently just got a job making $24,000 a year but has only been there a week. He only made $17,000 last year (2014) at his other job. We are acquiring a joint sponsor. My questions are:

1. I know my husband is the main sponsor and has to file out and Affidavit of Support. He is late filing his 2012 and 2013 Income tax returns. He is also just filing his 2014 Income Tax now so he does not have IRS transcripts. Would it be fine to submit his tax forms and say that we will forward the IRS tax transcripts when in receipt? Also, will my husband need a letter from his employer that he has been hired to a certain position, just started working and making $, even though we have a joint sponsor?

2. We have a joint sponsor who is making well over 125% of the poverty line. If he has filed his 2014 taxes but has not yet received his IRS transcript. He has his transcripts for 2012 and 2013. Should he include his 2012 and 2013 transcripts on his Aff. of Support as well as the 2014 tax forms stating he is waiting for the 2014 IRS transcript?

3. I am Canadian and my 6 months will run out on April 20th, and then I will be *out of status*. My third question is, is it better to wait for the IRS transcripts for the Affidavits of Support and then file my immigration documents, being *out of status*? OR, is it better to send in what documents I have, while being* in status *and send other documents required later?

I am nervous as my time is running out. Thanks so much. Anne
