Well, it really all depends on where in the US does the petitioner live, which country the beneficiary lives in (i.e. if it's Canada or Mexico, it's much easier/cheaper to make trips to each other's country), and your definition of 'comfortable' life. :P

Purely based on personal experience and travel and visa expenses, I'd say $35,000+.

Also... the beneficiary can help pay, too, in many circumstances. ;) I'm the beneficiary and covered the entire costs of the travel, visa, moving expenses, AOS and ROC.

To be very honest, irrespective of K1 visa, making anything below $35,000 in the USA especially in a major downtown or nice suburb is not gonna cut it to have a 'Comfortable lifestyle'.

For those wishing to bring a significant over to the USA, should plan to have some savings on hand and supporting your spouse, b/c he/she will not be working immediately upon arrival
