More details to this question:
I live on medical Disability. I am to get married overseas in September. Im afraid I do not make enough income to be his sponser. I also care for a 16yrs old son. Is this going to hurt my chances of him coming to the united states. I need him here to support me. I feel finacially it will not be an issue but it's the guidlines that is the problem and I have no one to help me.

Your fiancé needs to obtain a k fiancé visa not a tourist visa. A tourist visa is for the purpose of traveling here to visit and not to marry. If USCIS or a customs agent discovers his true intent if he arrives here on a tourist visa, he would be technically committing immigration fraud. As for your financial situation, you can always have a joint co sponsor file the financial affidavit of support if you can not meet the minimum level of income required. Discuss all the facts of your case with counsel.
