As I understand it, the citizen has to prove that they can support the
fiancee/spouse. The whole idea is that the non-citizen will not become a
charge on the state, so it's YOUR income that matters. I may be wrong.
I don't have the forms in front of me, but I believe you can also
provide the affidavit on the basis of assets, not income. That is
something you may want to look into.
