You will have to marry her 90 days after her entry into the United States if she gets her k-1 visa.

I'm sorry within 90 days after her entry

Your income is enough. How long have you yourself been a US citizen and by which process? That is a factor of consideration for the consular officer.

OK I believe with the time it will take you to file and submit the application you should be fine. It will raise a red flag though. I know there was at one time a special priority for ACTIVE duty military personnel (NOT reservists) out of the Philippines' embassy. I do not know whether or not they still provide that priority and in what capacity. Do you mind explaining exactly how your fiance was able to travel to the US and Saudi Arabia?

whats the red flag? i belive there a console in jeddah that the nearest she will be, we meet in the Philippines and she have not been in the US

A formal proposal is not required by USCIS. Neither is an engagement ring.

The red flag would be that just 4 weeks ago you were not a US citizen...and now just a few months after becoming a US citizen you are petitioning another foreign national to become a US citizen. It is just a red flag..but I think you'll be able to overcome it. As long as u met in last 2 years, have some evidence, highlight your tenure in the military... you should be fine.

This is correct.

The K1 requires you both to plan to marry within 90 days of the immigrant's arrival in the USA. You do not need to have gone down on one knee, or have a engagement party, or anything like that- it is about what is in your heads, about your plans.
