Good grief, your hand isn't being forced to do anything!
After reading your latest responses, I'm torn between wondering if you're simply trolling or really are possessed of such flawed logic as you're demonstrating. If the latter then I totally support that you have your facts confused - but not just "some".
You'll find the USCIS website linked in the first "sticky" on this forum and I seriously suggest that you go to it and read not just "most of the information relating to the K-1 visa" but every single word of it including all the related instructions. Good luck.
OK. I will read it in full and come back and ask questions if I have any. Thank you.
BTW I am definitely not a troll. I have no clue why anyone would want to troll an immigration forum.
I don't think that you have to be a family member to sponser. I could be wrong but I believe anyone can. So there is no fraud. That said, I doubt you will find someone other than a family or friend to do it. It makes the sponsor liable for the immigrant until they die, become a citizen, leave the country or have 10 years of continous work history. The immigrant can simply elect to not work, then sue the sponsor for about 25k a year (they will win that lawsuit easily) then sit back and collect it forever. Not many people wanna take that kind of responsibility on for someone they don't know.
OP your only option is to get someone to sign as a sponsor. I believe that the only waiver available is if the immigrant has enough money to sponsor themselves.

Financial support will be available to us in many forms, from my working to both of our parents.
So your parents are willing to provide financial support? Then why would they not be willing to sponsor your fiancee? Thats all the INS wants. Some one who will provide financial support. Where is the problem?
I still don't think there is anything illegal with the suggestion. The pettitioner has to sponsor but anyone else can be a co-sponsor. No relation required.
The immigrant CAN sue the sponsor. This has established case precendence, you simply don't know what your talking about. In most cases, it will be the gov agency that provides assistance that will wind up doing the sueing. However the immigrant can sue ANY sponsor to be compensated directly. If you would read your own link you would find that info included.
No 22 year old who isn't working and self-reliant should really be considering marriage, much less bringing in immigrants to support. Marriages of the very young have a high failure rate they say, then who supports the immigrant?
Just finish your education, by age 22, you should be about to graduate from college and find a good paying job and then start thinking about marriage.
