I’m currently in the K1 process I’m the petitioner and I’m currently unemployed and I have no assets what are my options here as my fiancé’s visas appointment is in a few weeks? No joint sponsor available

Well qualified joint sponsor if your consulate accepts them.  That is the only route.  Denial due to Public charge is a real thing....and living in the US is expensive.

Will that affect the approval I start a job next month I’m just wondering if it will affect it seen as I have a gap in employment

The interview is in a few weeks. A gap in employment is normally not an issue.  Your income over the next year (current annual income) is the key.

How will you support an immigrant?   Are you aware that it could be 8 months before he/she is allowed to work?

 

What if your partner needs medical care?

You are unemployed but will you make enough money this year to get over the 29k(?) threshold? Whatever it is. If so, than all you need is your tax transcripts to show you made enough.

Tax transcripts (latest) is not about this year.  It's last year.  If one does not have a job now, it doesn't make a bit of difference how much they made last year.  Going to work and providing a pay stub for a full pay period to go with an updated I-134 is the key.  Interview should be postponed until that can be accomplished.  If not, the visa will be denied and they'll have to start over.

If you show transcripts of last year, then that's the end of the investigation. You don't have to volunteer and say, "BTW, I'm not longer workering, deny me"

 

I don't know why so many people are recommending pay stubs. It's not good as transcripts.

Well on the I34 it does ask for an employment letter and the attorney did say to provide paystubs so I think they will ask for it in the interview

Incorrect.  Transcripts are the past.  You must also sign the affidavit stating your current income.  The latest tax return or return transcript only document current income for the self employed, not the employed or unemployed.

Trust me, it's not going to be volunteered information.  Beneficiaries are asked questions about the petitioner during the interview, and I don't think I've ever seen a question list that didn't ask what the petitioner does for an income. 

Beneficiary lies, it's fraud.  Beneficiary tells the truth, it's denied.

It's not about what information is superior.  Current pay stubs and a verification letter from the employer stating current salary is extremely relevant.

It doesn't ask for that. It only states it as an option among a list of options to show evidence.
