I am a US citizen who has been living and working in the UK for 3 years. I exceed 125% of the poverty level and am planning to sponsor my husband. However, this income will not continue once we move to the US and I will look for another job. I am very confident that I will quickly meet the requirement in the US, but it appears from previous threads that I cannot use this income if it won't continue.
Is this the case? And if so, how do I add in my current income? Do I (and my joint sponsor) list my income as $0 or the actual amount I earn? I am just thinking it will look strange to have a joint sponsor if I exceed the requirement.
Thank you for your help!

Thank you, Ian. Really appreciate the help.
I guess I'm just confused as to whether I have to count my joint sponsor (my mother) in my household size. Do I need to list her and her income anywhere on my I 864 and does she need to list mine?

No, don't count your mother in your household size.
Neither of you lists the others' income. Only list your own.
You are not combining your incomes.

Thanks so much for the quick reply.
So, to confirm, my mother and I will each fill in an I-864. In mine, I only include myself and the principal immigrant (my husband) in my household size. My mother will include herself, my father and the principal immigrant (my husband). Is that right?
