That will depend upon family size and past affidavit of support obligations.

Whether a sponsor meets the income requirement depends on the number of people in his household.

It depends on the size of his family: the rough estimate is $13963 a year for 1 person plus $5000 a year for each additional person, including you. $48500 would be enough for a 7-persons household.

Yes, that should be sufficient to support you, unless your father has other obligations on record that will reduce his income to an amount that would not convince a USCIS agent.

Yes, unless he has a very large family. The answer will depend on how many people are in his household and how many other people he has filed AOS for. If there are just the two of you, the income is more than enough. Check the instructions.

Generally yes, depending on how many people he is supporting as shown on his tax return. That number might be higher if he has signed other affidavits of support for others.
