Fiance Visa while unemployed

mmmmmmmm? iv) Inability to meet income requirement. If the sponsor is unable to meet the minimum income requirement in paragraph (c)(2)(iii) of this section, the intending immigrant is inadmissible unless the sponsor and/or the intending immigrant demonstrates significant assets or a joint sponsor executes a separate Form I-864.

Change your schedule.... Get a temporary job or some other form of employment to show you have a job and back that up with your pay stubs, W-2s and tax forms to show you had steady employment. You may want to go back more than the three years required.

Otherwise...

Put your visa application on hold until you finish your technical training and get a new job. There's no point in spending all that money and going to all that trouble if you think you might not meet the income requirements and be denied. Then pay and file all over again later anyway. Just wait until later and do it once.

I don't know what kind of job you had, but in my line of work I'm out of work for 3 months every year. Fortunately I make enough during the rest of the year to cover those months so from an annual perspective, I do OK.

I'm not sure continuous employment is required, but sufficient and continuous income as well as proof of that income is required.

Easiest is to get a co-sponsor for the K1 and hopefully you can meet the requirements for the I864 (AOS) on your own. Getting a co-sponsor now will enable you to bring her to USA within the next 6 months or so and by that time you will be all set to start a new job etc. A family member is a good bet for co-sponsorship (if not then even a friend will work.) Good Luck
