US Visa Financial Requirements

In order to apply for a K1 visa or for that matter a K3 visa you need to meet the financial requirements to petition for a us visa. In order to meet this you need to ensure that you are at least 125% of the poverty line.

The poverty line is not the same for all. Your state has its own poverty line and if you are in the US Army then your poverty line is even lower. Note that if you are active military then you only need to make the poverty line unlike non-military applicants.
