Can you sponsor someone with assets only on an I-864

I would like to sponsor my Canadian husband for Adjustment of Status based on our marriage (I am the USC). While he is eligible for an I-864W (he has over 40 credits of work with the SSA), the last year's credit of work hasn't posted yet to SS. I am afraid this may delay our AOS or cause a denial. Social security just told me that they most recent work credits will be posted "sometime this year."

My other options are:
1. I can sponsor him, but I have no income. We do have enough (cash) assets to meet 3X the povery limit. Is it risky doing an AOS with assets only and showing no income? This would be the easiest route aside from the I-864W.

2. I have several people who are willing and ready to cosponsor that could provide all of the paperwork needed to qualify as cosponsors.

Timing of posting of credits will not impact his AOS - he is eligible when he earns 40 credits and can prove it (the last social annual security statement received showing credits to his account and last year's W-2). He might have to submit copies and a letter explaining this situation along with AOS application.
 
He is eligible for the I-864W. Credits for 2010 were already registered in the system, even if he hasn't yet received a statement showing those latest credits. Include a copy of the latest SS statement along with an explanatory letter, and USCIS will check with the SSA to determine how many credits he really has. And by the time the interview occurs, the latest SS statement probably will be available so he can bring it to the interview.

P.S.
I just realized this thread is really a duplicate of http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?323422-I-864w
Please post additional questions related to the same issue to that thread.

Thanks for the responses. I guess I should have included this in the other thread - thanks for letting me know, Jack-o-lantern

Hope the both of you have a great day!
