Would this income + a job offer enough to sponsor on an Affidavit of Support?

[helpm]

I am trying to figure out whether I would be capable of filling out an Affidavit of Support without a co-sponsor for my girlfriend if I were to marry her. I am a US citizen and she is not. My situation is a little strange because I am a student and not employed throughout the year. I will try to lay out a timeline of the money I am expecting to earn.

I might make $35,000 in the summer of 2017 over a ten week period. I do not expect any additional income throughout the rest of the year, and that position would only last ten weeks. Upon completion of that summer work, I could potentially receive a full time job offer that will begin in October 2018 which would be contingent on me completing school.

I am wondering if there is any way I could sponsor a spouse/fiance visa prior to beginning a full-time job in October 2018. I am sure the most logical thing for me to do would be to get a co-sponsor or wait, but I'm trying to figure out if there's any way I could fill out an Affidavit of Support in 2017 if I have earned ~$35,000 during the summer and I have a job offer (again, it would be contingent on completion of school) for 2018 in hand.

Thank you for taking the time to read.

There seem to be a lot of contingencies about your future earnings potential. Your best bet is getting a co-sponsor, who could be your parents, siblings, or any other USC\LPR with a steady job.

Helpm,

Attempting to sponsor someone with anticipated income with future employment is "pie in the sky."

Daggit's advice to use a co-sponsor is the best strategy for you to meet the sponsorship requirements for a foreign spouse.

If you are considering a fiancee visa for her, co-sponsorship is not usually acceptable to the consulate which processes her visa application.

I understand that a co-sponsor is my best bet and there are contingencies. So does my employment have to be continual regardless of the fact I would have already cleared the poverty guidelines for the year if there will be an upcoming gap in employment while I finish school?

Could I fill out the form during 2017 while working if my earnings from the year exceed the minimum even though the job is very temporary (10 weeks, $3k+ a week), or is that no good either?
