Check this link for the guidelines: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_1327.html

It looks like you could be, depending on your family size. Just don't forget to add your fiance(e) when doing your calculations. Also, is the $393 per week before or after taxes? I'm not completely sure, but I think you get to use your before tax amount. Don't worry about the savings unless you're below the minimum.

Good luck!

so if i am below poverty than if i have like 6,000 in bank it will be ok for me is that correct.

That amount in the bank won't make a difference.

Depends on the household size but for two people it's certainly above the 125% level.
