Before tax... use the following formula. I am assuming you are working full time 40 hours a week with paid time off if you are taking days off of work.

how much you earn 1 hour X 2080= the number you use to determine if you are earning enough.

ex.

$20 per hour X2080 hours = $41,600 per year

You are looking at the 2011 poverty guidelines.

100% of the poverty level is listed for active duty military, 125% is listed for all other sponsors - exactly as stated - defined by the size of your household.

If its only you and your fiancee - in the continental US - your household size will be 2.

Look at the chart and you'll see you need income of at least $18,387/year - proved with paystubs, tax returns, letter of employment, etc.

If you have dependents (kids, past sponsored immigrants, etc) - your household size will be bigger.

Compare your household size to the chart. Is your income enough or not? You provided no actual data.

Agreed but you won't receive an RFE for anything related to your income. That's all dealt with at the embassy - not USCIS.
