I-134 affidavit of support issues

I am a DV2016 winner with CN AF29xxx. I have come across people talking about the I-134 form (affidavit of support). Until then, I didn't think I needed it as a prerequisite for visa issuance. Anyway, my sponsor (the one I listed in the DS260) earns about US$2000 - 3000 a month and lives in Nashville with his family of three children. By the time I travel to the States (once the visa is issued) I will have two children.
1. Does anyone think my sponsor's financial obligations will pose a threat to my visa chances?
2. Supposing I argue and prove that I have savings of about US$19,000 to take care of my family in the initial stay in the US. Will that help?
3. Can't I tell the CO that I have another willing sponsor, actually two. One in Georgia and another in New York. The one in New York earns US$8000 a week. I could let him write out a letter for me saying he will help me get on my feet. So I attend the interview with that letter as well.

What do you guys think?

1. If your embassy requires you to present an AOS form, your sponsor's annual income of $30K does not meet the requirements for your combined family.

2. It all depends on the embassy where your interview will be taking place.

3. If you have someone else with a higher income, get the affidavit BEFORE going for your interview. It doesn't matter that the new sponsor isn't the one listed on your DS-260 form. Don't risk being put on AP - that's what will happen with the plan of "Can't I tell the CO I have another sponsor, actually two ..."

Anyway, I suggest you read Simon's blog for more information on affidavit and the host system commonly used by most of the embassies in Africa:

Just a quick one mom: if someonene's place/city of birth was entered as X in the E-DV form but the place/city of birth in the DS260, birth certificate and passport is Y (which is the correct entry) What can one do to get their chances of getting the Visa issued? I know denials have been given out based on that alone. Should the person even bother heading for interviews? Some is in a serious dilemma. Please help

How different are X and Y? Are you talking cities, countries, continents...?

Shouldn't be a problem as long as they're in the same country. Obviously, what should be regarded as the correct city of birth is the place that's got the official document(s) to back it up.
