There are different costs of living throughout the country, just because you think it's too low for your experience doesn't mean others can't make it work.  $22,000/year is nothing if you live in Los Angeles--you can't afford to live under a bridge out there for that kind of money, but there are plenty of other places with lower cost of living where $22,000/year makes for a comfortable living--not rolling in cash or anything, but not suffering either.

I would have to agree. The rules are to protect the sponsor and beneficiary from financial ruin. Marriages cost money and marriages to alien fiancees cost even more money. USCIS is simply trying to err on the side of caution here. I've made $30K before and it's very difficult to live on.
 
Op has to find a co-sponsor, get a second job, get promoted, save your money, etc. anything to meet the qualifications.
 
And I just did some research, the poverty guidelines are actually higher for green cards than they are for the K1 visas which explains why barely meeting the K1 poverty standard still isn't enough for K1 approval
https://www.k1approved.com/k1-visa-tips/fiance-visa-income-requirements/

The amount for a 2 person household -your petitioner must make at least $21,575.00 to meet the guideline for a sponsor. And if your petitioner has any household members they are also responsible for, it increases for each person.

This situation sucks. I speak from experience.  

That doesnt always work. If the embassy feels beneficiary is a public charge risk. I am $8000 over the guidelines limit and the embassy is still insisting I get a co sponsor.  Good luck 

They've already asked you for a co-sponsor. Your fiance coming in with new evidence from a new job isn't gonna satisfy them. Find a co-sponsor fast. You also can't wait very long to do this because if you do they will consider your application abandoned and send it back to USCIS to expire so waiting for next year's taxes isn't gonna work. They've told you what they want.

As noted above...
Get another job. Use assets to supplement income, if available. Find a co sponsor. There's no other options to get the visa approved.
 
Keep in mind the potentially extensive costs coming up (wedding? AOS fees ($1225). Health insurance. Housing + food + living expenses. Not being able to work for ~4-6+ months.)

They will need evidence of current income.....current income is used to determine sponsor's ability to support new immigrant....letter from employer, pay subs, etc.....

Thank you for your support ! But I think he is giving up on me after he met a girl who's working with him and he sees her everyday for 8 hours. He was honest with me and told that he likes her because she hears him when he talks and there are a lot of common things they share.  He said he felt connected to her because he has touched her and whenever they are together, he feels happy and not worried about his life. He started dating her for only 3 days ago but they have seen each other at work 2 weeks ago ( btw he just got this new job in two weeks ago)
Everytime I call him now , all he does is crying and sabbing , breaking things and keeps saying that he is so tired and not okay. He said that he feels miserable , sad and disappointed for a while ago . He has been like that for 2 days now. Im in pain and he has said a lot of things that hurt me and broke my heart. Im in a situation where I don't know how to make a decision whether I leave or stay? Whether I give him time to heal himself  or just leave him ? We have been arguing a lot this month before all this happened because we are missing each other a lot and not being able to manage time to talk . He is tired of the feelings he get whenever we argue. Told me that I am the only person who could hurt him. I think he's making wrong decisions right now because of the way he feels.  Running a way  from the bad feeling that he feels by going out with this girl. He doesn't have a lot of friends , he doesn't go out and do things because he said I don't allow him to do things that he likes which is not true or that I didn't mean to make him feel this way, and that I let him fly under my own conditions  
He always at home and spending his day on a political forum called "Conspiracy outpost " and all he does is  posting things there and talking to people online. I really I do feel him and I know why he is like that. It's been almost 10 months that we haven't been together physically. I had to leave back after I finished my school in May 2017 and sent our petition in August.
All I said to him that Im not going to take him serious because its clear that he is confused and emotional. Making a quick decision and being misled by his emotions. 
We are still talking and texting each other but it hurts me every day when I know he is with her. Her being in his life now was a choice for him. And the only reason why Im still with him because I do believe that we are happy whenever we are together physically. I understand what made to this situation and that because of the longing and distance. 
He does not want to cancel the visa and said that lets see what god can do for us and he doesn't know what will happen after he tried to brake up with me 2 times whenever he was crying and upset. 
I really Im confused don't know what to do. My heart is telling to be with him because I love him but his heart is telling him to continue getting to know this girl. 

Reading your post....I can see how you poured your heart out to us here---and I'm sorry for what you are going through.  Life and love are emotional roller coasters, as you know.
 
From what you've said above, two things stood out to me:  #1 He's a bit manipulative with some of the things he says to you (ie. "you're the only one who can hurt him", and "you don't allow him to do the things he likes")....and #2 You can't see the forest for the trees.
 
What I mean by #2, is that all the warning signs are there (and probably were from the very beginning if you think back) that your relationship with him was doomed from the start.  However in the beginning all was rosy, yes?  So you keep looking for just the rosy stuff and ignore the blatant parts:
 
-he cheated on you
-he's tried to break up with you in the past
-he's told you he doesn't want to be with you any longer
-he's told you point-blank that he's "no longer happy with you"
-you two are constantly arguing, leaving both of you constantly upset with each other and yourselves.
-he's told you straightforwardly that "his heart is telling him to continue getting to know that other girl"
 
Those things do not make a happy relationship.  He's not happy, obviously.  You're not happy with how you're left to feel about him and yourself after all is said and done.  Sometimes it takes a while to begin to have the courage to take off those rose-colored glasses and look at a situation objectively.  Yes, you love him, that is apparent.  You love being with him (when you actually see him, and when you two are actually not at each other's throats).  He doesn't seem to love you anymore as much as he used to (men who are happily in love normally do not think about cheating, actually cheat, or try to break up with their partner).
 
It can be hard to let go of a relationship---especially when it seems the two of you fought so hard to be together in the first place with all of the family issues.  Look---the main point of being in a relationship is to improve another person's life, and in turn, they improve yours.  Do not stay in a relationship because you're afraid of being alone, because you're "used" to things, or because it's more comfortable than breaking up.  
 
He's made his choice long ago to not be with you any more---and I know that hurts like hell to hear it, but in the long run he's actually doing you a favor by letting you go.  You won't see it now, but later down the road when you've met someone else who truly cares for you and your feelings, you'll be thanking him for breaking up with you.

My fience just told me that he is not happy with our situation and that we will never get the approval.. He also said that he met a girl 2 days a go at work who actually made him feel connected to her and more happier .. He was complaining about the us being a part for so long. I think he's just confused now and can't be patient anymore  
so I think if I got the approval soon, he might feel better about our relationship. 
Please pray for us 

i am so sorry you are going through this especially on top of everything else as this whole process is so hard to deal with anyway. 
 
is there no chance that you both can meet up sooner than later? i can not comment on your relationship. But if he is already dating this girl isnt it better for you to find someone who truly loves you and would be by your side no matter what. 
 
only you can make the decision and when you do it will be the right choice. we are all here for you.

My darling  I feel for you but the fact is ,he is unfaithful  to you and just like @ Oley said ,blaming your absence for his action does not guarantee him being faithful to you even when two of you are finally together. Besides immaturity is also part of his problem. My dear if he really loves you  he will do everything to prove his love to you including being faithful. Use your head now not your heart.  All you need is who truly loves you and will stand by you through thick and thin. Lots of love.!!!

It is always easy to say things than doing it.  I'm a little depressed now and confused at the same time . We have been together for 2 years and half and its very hard for me to just walk away like that. He is 23 yrs old and I'm 26 years old and I think he's being immature and acting like a child now

All I said to him that Im not going to take him serious because its clear that he is confused and emotional. Making a quick decision and being misled by his emotions. 
We are still talking and texting each other but it hurts me every day when I know he is with her. Her being in his life now was a choice for him. And the only reason why Im still with him because I do believe that we are happy whenever we are together physically. I understand what made to this situation and that because of the longing and distance. 
He does not want to cancel the visa and said that lets see what god can do for us and he doesn't know what will happen after he tried to brake up with me 2 times whenever he was crying and upset. 
I really Im confused don't know what to do. My heart is telling to be with him because I love him but his heart is telling him to continue getting to know this girl. 

That's possible, unfortunately it happens and I would only wish for you to have a happy life after all this you go through. Because if it will make you sad after going to another country and get married and change your life for someone, it wouldn't worth it.
 
i would suggest give it time while you're waiting for this approval and think, and see what this time and approval will bring to you and him.
 
sometimes things taking time is for the best.

He thinks I will get denied because of where I come from. I'm from Saudi Arabia abd he is American
