There is a possibility that your sister who is on food stamps may be able to provide an affidavit of support for you as the form does not ask whether the financial sponsor has received government assistance. But please note that any government assistance or unemployment monies cannot be the basis for the financial support. Insofar as your brother is concerned, a person who just began working and has no other history of paying taxes or having considerable assets would be a poor candidate to provide an affidavit of support.
