Thank you, I really appreciate your help with clarifying things. I mixed up when we'd have to file for the affidavit of support.
I don't have any ties with my family and finding a joint sponsor would be hard for me.

I'll just make sure I work enough hours for my US employer while abroad, in order to satisfy the required amount.

That might be more complicated than you make it sound.  When the time comes, you'll use a pay stub to calculate and document your current income.  It will likely show your YTD income, which is not particularly relevant.  This pay stub is likely to be from sometime in 2024.  Exactly how to calculate is easy for a full time employee, but not as easy when your hours are irregular.

Ahh ok got it. My hours won't be irregular, I'll make sure of it.
And also, it's very likely that by the time I have to file for the affidavit of support, I'll already be back in the US and back to my full time salary. Hopefully all goes well for us, thank you for answering my questions! ☺️
