Default I am disabled and not working...

My K1 visa was just approved, and we are waiting for her to receive letter
about her interview. I am disabled and not working at present. Surely they
cannot discriminate against us can they?? Is there any advice for us.?

Do you mean discriminate because of your disabilty or you may have a problem meeting the income to support your partner.

If you have the income and/or assets, it doesn't matter

They can't discriminate against your for being black, white, disabled,
Catholic, Protestant, etc.

However, "Lack of income" is not a protected class.

They can deny a visa if it cannot be established that she is not
likely to become a public charge in the US, based upon the what is
presented at the interview.

If your income and/or assets are insufficient to assure this, the only
other option is for someone else to cosponsor her.

Or, the "only other" other option, for the alien to meet the public charge provision with their own funds.
