I-864 and I-864A

[elainerosas]

On Section 5 - Sponsor's household Size on form I-864, the total household size I indicated is four (myself, husband, child and the person I'm sponsoring).
On Section 6 - Sponsor's Income and Employment, I indicated my current income alone, which is sufficient to sponsor my parents. I did not put any other names in sections 6 thru 9. I also provided copies of my tax returns (I filed joint with my husband).
I received a letter from NVC indicating that I have provided insufficient information. Upon calling, I was told to add my husband's name and income in Section 6.a and that he needs to fill-up I-864A. Since we file joint in our tax returns, what income should we declare in his I-864A section 11? Is it going to be our total income per tax return (which is the same as Section 6.13.a in my I-864.
Is there a way for him not to fill-up I-864A??
Thanks for your help!

If you know your income alone is enough based on your household size, the problem is not insufficient income, it is insufficient evidence of income. You need more than tax returns. They also want W-2 or 1099 (unless you send tax transcripts from the IRS), and evidence that your income is still ongoing, such as a letter from your employer and/or recent paystubs.
