If a petitioner has sufficient documentable income to meet the Affidavit of Support (Form I-864) requirements, then there would be no requirement, advantage or purpose in filing a Form I-864 from a joint sponsor. What is the reason you are contemplating this?

If the original sponsor's income is sufficient then there is really no need for a joint sponsor. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.

A petitioner 'will not' need a "joint sponsor" in the form of an additional I-864, where their income for the number of sponsored immigrants, and dependents, exceeds the HHS Poverty Guidelines for the calendar year in which the sponsored immigrants immigrate.
