Concerns about the I-134...

Okay, I have been reading over the I-134, and now have new concerns and questions:

*The form asks for annual income. I have not worked any job for a full year since 2002, and even then, that was only part time. The problem with my job now is that it is federal work-study, and therefore, does not pay any 'annual income'. It will simply pay me what I was awarded, in increments, till I bleed it dry, to the tune of $2400. Once that's gone, I can't get any more money from this position, at least for this semester.

What exactly should I list for "annual income" since, quite frankly, I don't make any "annual income"? It's not that I make no money, I just don't have any set "You make $xxx/year" type of money. If my other job had not laid me off, I could perhaps have put that down and just rounded and figured it out, but since they chose not to keep me, I can't really do that.

*One of the questions asks if you intend or do not intend to make specific contributions to the beneficiary in question. If I was actually to mark "do not intend", would that raise any red flags/seem to be cause for denial?

My co-sponsor is planning to provide room and board, so that's taken care of. The idea is that after she gets here, and gets EAD (or whatever else authorizes her to work) she'll work full time somewhere, and...well I don't want to say support herself, but basically she will. I am not wholly dependent on my family (though they might tell you otherwise) because I pay my own personal bills, I just can't pay rent or anything yet.

While I figure I would give her money as needed, I don't plan to have any set schedule of giving her money. Quite frankly, until she gets her own bills, she won't have to pay anything anyway. And by the time she does, she should be working as it is. So therefore, I mean...she's going to be provided for, room and board, that's a given. If I put that I don't have any 'specific' contributions to make (cause I really don't), will that matter? Keep in mind, my co-sponsor definitely exceeds the income requirements, and I mean, he's gonna let her/us live here for free (or basically free). What more would they really need to know in order to be satisfied that she's not going to become the dreaded public charge?

Thanks.
