If I’m applying for a change of status from my ETSA for permanent residency with my citizen wife.how do we add additional sponsors in order to meet the required income levels?

I have downloaded forms I-485 (for myself), I-130 (for my spouse) and G-325A (2 copies, 1 for each of us). What are the income requirements for my wife as my sponsor? (she has 4 children currently residing with her). How do we add her parents has additional sponsors?

Each of the joint sponsors needs to complete the I-864 affidavit of support and attach their supporting documentation to that as part of the packet you submit to USCIS.  The petitioner is the primary sponsor who needs the I-864 completed and any others (family members) need to file as joint sponsors.
