I don't think you will find that codified anywhere; there might be a couple of other things mixed in with what Duncan said.
BUT, he's on the right track in that loaned or gifted money may be questioned (and rejected) by the CO as not conforming to the root of the i-864, which is to make sure your immigrant does not become a public charge. Understand that it's not a concern that you can feed yourselves, but a protection so that I (and other US taxpayers) do not have to feed you.

JEff posted the details of the portion of the 9FAM which discuss this. That, and the I-864 links from the article in my signature should be helpful.

A Sponsor or Joint Sponsor for the I-864 must be a US citizen or Permanent Resident, domiciled in the US. If you have not yet read the I-864 + instructions to see that for yourself, the conversation will be pretty limited from here.

They have to be either USC's or LPR's. If they are just there on a work visa, then they cannot be joint sponsors.
