My husband and I agreed to be joint sponsor for a friend/family that is petitioning for her step-son.  She is a stay at home mom and her husband doesn't make enough to be the sole sponsor.  My husband and I do and can sponsor.  However, I believe I may make enough so I would have to be the only sponsor.  But my income is close, because my husband and I have already sponsored 4 family members and there are 4 in our household.  Therefore this person will make a total of 9 that I have to qualify for.  When they look at income do they look at gross or net income?  Also, does the income have to meet the requirements for the last 3 years.  I met it last year, but only by 1k. 

 

I'm kind of on the side of being better safe than sorry and make sure there isn't any question.  So I also was wondering if it would be easier to have her husband be a qualifying household member or have my husband be a qualifying household member.  I'm thinking that it should be her husband, so if anything did happen they would have to share the financial burden. 

 

Also, I assume, she (the petitioner) still fills out the AOS paperwork even though she has no income?
