More details to this question:
I filed I-130 for my sister 12 years ago. I quit my job 5 years ago to stay home to raise and homeschool our child. Right now I need to file the I-864.

You will need a joint sponsor. Your spouse can be one if the spouse has sufficient income. Or a friend or another relative (so long as the joint sponsor is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident - include proof with their I-864).

Being unemployed is not an issue if you can use the income from other members of your household to satisfy the affidavit of support requirement.

You will need to submit a revised affidavit of support and submit current financial documentation when the case is ready for consular processing, which will happen when the priority date becomes current.

Right, if a person sponsors an immigrant, at some point they need to file an affidavit of support on form I-864. If the sponsor has insufficient income, they can get a co-sponsor.

If you income is insufficient, you can seek joint sponsorship.
