It depends on the size of your household in addition to your husband. If it is just the two of you, it will be about $20000/year.

How much you have to earn annually depends on the number of your family members. You should go to uscis web site for the most current poverty guidelines. If you do nt make sufficient income to qualify, you can have a friend, family member or co worker join in in filing the affidavit of support as a co-sponsor. Remember such individual must be either a US citizen or legal resident alien who qualifies in his or her own right by making sufficient income to take care of members of his own family plus your husband. The co sponsor does not have to reside in the same state with you.
