2010 poverty guidelines? And some other questions

[BirdyGirl85 23]

Hi all. It's been quite a while since I researched about the fiance visa. I was researching and posting here last summer, but I didn't start the visa process for my fiance back then because I didn't have a job last summer and I wanted to wait until I got a job before starting the process. But I got a job last September, and now my fiance, who is from Finland, is actually in the U.S. with me right now. He is only visiting and he will go back to Finland in March. But I thought the best thing to do was to start the process while he is here in the U.S. (And by that I mean getting the fiance visa petition ready and mailing it) That way he can fill out forms here and sign them, and we can go to get passport photos together. I just thought it would be better to be able to work on getting the package ready while being together in person, since we can help each other and I just thought that would be easier then trying to do it while being separated. There's nothing wrong with that right?

Plus my main question is, if I start the process now, will our poverty guideline be the 2009 guidelines? The 2010 guidelines aren't in affect yet right? I feel a little confused about this whole process, but I want to start it soon if we are allowed to use the 2009 guidelines. (Plus I want to start it soon anyways, the separation is very hard)

Thank you, any information and help is appreciated.
