Please understand that VA disability can range from roughly 10% to 100% and with corresponding rates of monetary awards.  Currently at todays VA Disability rates 100% Disability with a spouse equates to over $3300.00 a month.   So depending on percentage of disability the award amount will be determined.  I see no reason why you can not file your own 864.  Your husband should have a reward letter from the VA, do you know his disability rating?

The va gives him $ 3,334 monthly as disabled vet and social security $ 1,075 retirement monthly too . That’s all he gets every single month . I do not get anything , I can’t work till I get my work permit and SSN  ... so I depend on him for a while . He is sponsoring me! 
aboyt the 864 dunno , the lawyer told me sth different and the uscis doesn’t respond via phone unfortunately. 
We are very stressed out & depressed ! There’s no many people on a similar mess with RFE to request info & advice .

Lately there has been several people who have reported getting an RFE from USCIS  concerning tax statements and not being above the poverty line, me included.  Seems like someone does not understand that disability income is not taxed and can be omitted from entry on tax forms.   When we applied the I-864  I enclosed my VA award letter that shows disability rating and amount of reward.  I also gave a full accounting of how my income is derived and provided supporting documents.  We received an RFE stating the need for a sponsor and a bunch of other stuff that had already been provided.  We are mailing the REF back today with copies of the original and duplicate copies of what they have requested just so they can't say we did not comply with the RFE.  Something broke in USCIS and no one seems to want to fix it. 

We are on the same situation ... he gets his disability income as a disabled veteran . We are waiting on the IRS to mail us the transcripts , 1040 and IRS letter with explanation why he doesn’t pay taxes . One question , can my husband file 864 for himself? My lawyer asked me if could be a different sponsor, unfortunately we do not have any other relative alive over 

Hi! 
We got a scary RFE which we even don’t understand .. my husband is an American veteran who obviously by law doesn’t have to pay taxes ... however we got a few points listed by uscis requiring : tax docs for the most recent year , transcripts, form 1040 , letter explain the doesn’t pay taxes and on top of that form I- 864 ( it says he is not qualified ? His income is 51,600 !!! 
we are lost .... what can we do?
