Your obligation to sponsor the beneficiary ends after they’ve been working for a certain amount of time pr until they become an American citizen. It’s eay longer than 6 months. So your household for this visa petition will be at least three people: you, your wife, and your sister-in-law.

Your obligation as her sponsor ends when she becomes a US citizen or surrenders her green card or dies or works at least 40 qualifying quarters.

hi

 

if you were planning to file for your wife and didn't make enough to cover both of them, you shouldn't have been a joint sponsor.

 

unless she becomes a citizen in over 3 years if your brother is a US Citizen, dies, abandons her GC or works 40 quarters. the responsibilities of being a sponsor or joint sponsor are included in the i864 instructions

 

you will have to get a second job, a better job, or use assets to overcome the difference, as you will now have to include your sister in law as part of your household size

This is one of the reasons to be very careful about sponsoring extended family or friends.
