if you don't have any dependants you can either not include the form, and make sure to write n/a on the checklist for that form, or include the form and writing n/a on the form. do not forget to include the "additional family information" form... i mistakenly thought that had to do with dependants, and was completely wrong. now my application is delayed because they requested the form!

No you do not have to have a job to sponsor your husband. You can not be collecting welfare and you can't go bankrupt . You can collect E.I. They may ask you how you intend to support yourself and your spouse without any income , so be prepared to show savings account or any assets that you may have.
