This has been posted plenty, but I figured I would ask. 

 

I am currently sending money, and have been to my fiancé for about 1 year and a half soon. The embassy looks to be not opening soon, so I will have to keep sending for a while it seems because she cannot find a job. Even then will all this Covid stuff who knows when they will open fully, and really start processing cases. On top of this, I am making less money at my job because of Covid and I am currently trying to get another, but Covid has slowed all the recruiting processes as well, so who knows when I will get another job. I am worried that I will not have enough money for myself, and more concerning to send to her to live. It would be way less of a burden if she was here, and I didn't have to send almost 1000 dollars a month there. We could be saving some of that money living together. Not sure if this would work, or be grounds to expedite, but I figured I would ask someone who might know here. I have joint sponsor's ready to do all the paperwork for the embassy stage once we get there, so that should not be an issue. Maybe other people have similar situations, but really what I am supposed to do if I can't send her anymore money, and she doesn't have money to survive. 

 

Thanks

How did she live before you.

Probably not adding anything new here, but first of all, lashing out to people that were giving you advice would not help you. 
Second, pretty much everyone right now is on a tight budget and no, that is not a reason to expedite. In fact, that is why you have a joint sponsor. 
Third, you do what you want with your money, but how did she manage to survive before she met you? You can’t help anyone else before you’re in a good situation, and you’re already struggling.

Finally, sending money constantly to somebody on a K1 can be a red flag, so if I were in your situation, I would tell her that from next month on, she needs to step up and support herself, while you focus on saving some for when she makes it here. Because you’ll need to double on groceries and utilities, get her a health insurance, etc.
