Legal Question in Immigration Law in Kentucky

I am a natural born US citizen and would like to marry my English boyfriend and live here in America. I know I probably need to do the whole K-1 fiancee visa thing, but my question is what kind of money/job requirements are there? I know that this kind of thing costs money and I have to have a job where I can support us but what does that mean? We are both relatively poor and I know we're not at the point we can do it right now but I want to know what kind of goals to shoot for before we can do it.

If not, you'll have to get a quote from an immigration attorney and save up.
