More details to this question:
Hi. I petitioned my husband but I am now having to fill a form that asks for my income information. I don't work because I am a full time student. He is the only one working. Since I am the petitioner, can I add my sister as a sponsor for him? And would we be using the forms I864 A and I 864?

Yes your sister can be a joint sponsor and file I-864. She will only file I-864a if she is a member of your household.

What is your husband's income? You can use his income in the affidavit of support. Depending on his earnings, you may not need an additional sponsor. Does you sister live with you? If so, you probably can use her as a co-sponsor, but she needs to fully understand what that means for her.

Yes, you can use your sister as the joint sponsor. If she lives separately and is not a part of your own household, you do not need I-864A, just I864 from her.
