Why not just use a sponsor?

As long as you can provide proof of current income, i.e. pay stubs, employment letter, etc... there is hope that you should not have any problem regarding the income requirement. There is always the option of including a co-sponsor, and from my personal knowledge and experience, this co-sponsor should be a close family member. To offer an example, when I submitted the I-129f petition for my gal I only supplied the last years ITR and it was the only ITR that I could furnish that met the minimum income requirement and I didn't have any problem with the income requirement.

Best of luck!

I am pretty sure this is one of the embassies that do not accept co-sponsors for K1 petitions.

Current income is key, so if you can provide an employer letter with your new salary and stating that your job is in good faith, as well as recent pay stubs to prove your income, then you should be ok. Check in the regional forum for more embassy specific suggestions.

I think you will be ok, because you will only need to prove your financials in 6+ months, at the interview, and by then you wil have quite a few paystubs.
