Thank you for your long response, that really helped to understand the process.

Yes but let's say I would get work authorization while waiting for the interview, then we would make a lot more obviously and it wouldn't be a problem anymore. But I'm hearing so much about the work authorizations taking so long that people get their interview before they are allowed to work. In that case that wouldn't be our fault. Does that make sense?

I did not know this, so people get denied even though they meet the requirements? Just because they don't meet them "enough"?

Hello! Me (29, Germany) and my fiance (26, US citizen) are in the process of getting the K1. I have a question regarding the financial requirements when it's time to file the I-485. We are meeting the requirements but it's tight so we are only a few thousand over the requirements which are 125% of poverty line. When the K1 is done and I go to the US to marry him and we file the I-485 and fill out the affidavit of support and everything is good but then it maybe takes two years to actually get the interview and maybe something bad happens by then, like losing a job or whatever and then it puts us slightly under 125% of the poverty line, would I then get my green card denied and would need to leave the country? In simpler words, even if we meet the requirements when filing I-485, could they still deny us bc years later when there is finally the interview, we experience financial hardships of any kind? In case you are wondering why I'm asking, I just have a problem with worrying a lot in general.
