Can put process on Hold? Visit prior to K1 App possible?

[SOTY 0]

I have a unique and unfortunate situation:

I recently relocated back to the U.S. and I am looking for a new job(currently not employed with no income and not enough savings to proceed).

At the same time, my Fiancee and I wish to be married, however, this can't really happen unless I have a job showing income which I can state on the I-134, Affidavit of Support.

So far, there is no option to get a cosigner for the I-134...

My questions are:

1. Is it possible to start the process now? --In hopes of finding a job before needing to submit the I-134?--

2. If I do the above and still do not have a job when it's time to submit the I-134, is it possible to put on hold submitting such documents? For How Long?

3. Is it possible for my Fiancee to come visit me in the U.S. after I submit the I-129 Petition and BEFORE submitting the DS-156K Non-Immigrant Fiance(e) Visa Application??

(Because, we haven't 'officially' applied for the K1 Visa yet)

Does anyone have any experience or comments regarding the above?

Your fiancée can visit at any time provided she has the appropriate proof of ties, etc. Here is a helpful link: Visitation FAQ's

As for timelines, it is possible to delay the process at numerous stages along the way.
