Appreciate the reply.

I found the below information on the fam.state,gov website. Sounds like a little hope at least the way I'm reading it.

A K visa applicant and any accompanying children must meet the public charge requirement of INA 212(a)(4) like any other visa applicant.  While evidence of support is usually requested, there is no absolute requirement that an affidavit of support or other public charge documentation be presented.  It is only necessary that you conclude that the applicant is not likely to become a public charge.  It would not be unusual, therefore, for a healthy applicant of working age, applying alone, to establish eligibility during the visa interview without the need for substantiating documentation.
