If he is happy being a teacher in the Philippines making "peanuts" then let him be.

Actually he says he doesn't want to come to the US since he already has a career in the Philippines as a teacher but lets be honest a teacher there makes peanuts compared to what a teacher here can make. I'm just scared that he's 'so good' that he's getting me to pressure him to come and he can say that never wanted to come here. He did initiate contact and with a sad story but moreso I think it was to make himself look good as he graduated from college sigma cum laude despite all of his hardships. He's never asked for anything so I have to give him that.

Have you thought about moving there?

I don't really get what his salary has to do with anything. I am a teacher's assistant working part time, I don't make much but I LOVE my job and wouldn't want to trade it for anything. Could be that you're right and he wants you to "pressure" him to come to the US, could also be that he just loves his job.

All the payments you do are voluntarily, you can't possibly fine your fiance/wife for your spendings

Also keep in mind that you're filling "affidavit of support" during k1 process and then during AOS

and you have list of obligations while it is active (even after divorce) and attempts to "run" from them is punishable by fines

Oh, what a day, what a lovely day!

Cost of living in the Philippines is different to cost of living in the US. You can't compare a teacher's salary here in USD to what he earns in PHP converted to USD, and call it peanuts. If he's comfortable and happy in the Philippines making what he makes, who are you say otherwise?
