what we can do if we don’t meet the sponsorship requirement for adjustment status?

My fiance and I are getting married in several months, I am a US citizen and she
is here with F1 visa. We are both currently students, therefore we don’t meet the
requirement for affidavit income as sponsor. What would be our best option
here?

You can get anyone who is a US citizen or a US permanent resident to act as a joint sponsor.  TYpically in your situation that would be a parent or other relative.  It does not have to be, however.  It can be a friend, relative, co worker, neighbor, etc.
