It depends on the kind of assets that you have and other legitimate grounds of evaluation of a petitioner/sponsor and an intending immigrant.

If the USCIS office or Consulate abroad had requested the Joint Sponsor, you should try to find one. Otherwise, the application can be denied.

It's not clear from your post what evidence of what assets you tried to submit, what is your overall financial, personal and family situation, and who do you petition for. You should probably consult an attorney.
