Your question isn't clear. Your US citizen spouse will be the sponsor for the Affidavit of Support. He/she will have to show that he/she earns more than 125% of the poverty guidelines. You can find that number at http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-864P.pdf. If the sponsor doesn't meet the guidelines then you will need a co-sponsor who does and who understands the obligations of acting as a sponsor for your immigration application. You should discuss the process with an immigration attorney to ensure that you are eligible to receive your green card in the US once you are married to a US citizen, as well as to discuss the affidavit of support and any issues you may have with it.
