I am filing an application for a green card based on marriage to a US citizen, but my US citizen spouse does not meet the minimum income requirement for the Affidavit of Support. Can I use a Joint Sponsor?

Yes, you may use a joint sponsor. The joint sponsor must act as a third party (your spouse still must accept liability as a co-sponsor), and he or she must be a US citizen or a green card holder. The Joint Sponsor must file a second Affidavit of Support that renders him or her financially responsible for you just as your spouse is.
