I-864 Affidavit of Support, to add a joint sponsor or not?

Hello all,

I (US born citizen) am currently filling out form I-864 for my husband (Belgian). We both live and work in the U.S. Our combined, and even separate, income surpasses the minimum required for sponsorship, however... we do not have any past tax returns to prove it.

For the last three years I have not filed my taxes. I was a student with essentially an income of zero. That being said, I started my full-time permanent position this January 2021. Like I said, this position alone surpasses the 125% above poverty line requirement for form approval. I am just afraid that my job contract alone will not be enough for approval. I do not have much to supplement with either as I really don't have many assets at this time, and technically my bank account balance is pretty low still because I just started working.

We can also supplement with my husbands income. However, he is in a very similar situation to me. He did file returns every year, but was a student so his reflected income was miniscule. He is now working full-time in a permanent position (started Oct 2020 or so) and has an income that again surpasses the 125% above the poverty line requirement.

My question is, if we provide evidence of our bank statements, the few assets we have, and our job contracts outlining our salary, will that be sufficient? Or should we add on a joint sponsor?

Trying to get the application in ASAP and my potential joint sponsor, while very reliable and willing, is not the most time conscious person around.

Thank you for your time and help!

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our
