ButterflyAngelo, I don't know what you mean by your fiance's manager will support him (and you?). If you mean that you have a co-sponsor, ok -- then the petitioner (the US citizen), needs to fill out one I-134 and if he has to leave the income and assets blank, that's ok, they still need one from him because the petitioner is always the primary sponsor. Then, the co-sponsor needs to fill out a second I-134 and include any documents that prove the co-sponsor's income or assets. Usually this means a tax transcript or complete tax return, plus paychecks/paystubs. Don't forget that the co-sponsor also has to prove US citizenship (or legal residence), so they need to send a copy of their passport or birth certificate as well.

You should read the guides ( http://www.visajourney.com/content/support ) carefully -- using a co-sponsor is okay, but kind of tricky for some consulates, so make sure yours is okay with co-sponsors! (At least, I assume that's what you mean by talking about your fiance's manager -- the petitioner still the primary sponsor, there's no getting around that even if they don't have sufficient income.)

(Edited because I think you're the beneficiary, am I right?)

Thank you!!

and Yeah, i didn't do anything, my fiancé also didn't do anything. We didn't call or email the NVC or the embassy. All we did was just wait and the embassy emailed us. We got approved on May 16th, and The NVC sent our file to embassy on May 31st and on the same date they emailed my fiancé to let him know about it, and When our file reached the embassy on June 5th, they emailed my fiancé on June 11th to ask the updated info of mine and the embassy emailed me this morning (June 17th) and asked me to submit the requirements they want.

Have your file reached the embassy?

What my fiancé and i did was nothing, the NVC will email the petitioner when they send the file to the embassy and the embassy will email the petitioner to ask the updated info about the beneficiary. So just wait and they will reach you.

You might need that case number when scheduling for an interview, if the embassy doesn't do it for you. And it might be required from you when you go for the medical. I base this from experience since I had to provide the case number when I scheduled for the interview and medical exam, but your country's US Embassy might have a different need for it. :)
