Wow, everybody's an expert. I tried to tell my friend that I didn't think I needed to show support for my fiance at the I-129F stage. And that they just want to be sure she wont be a ward of the state ...but at the interview stage. I told him about the I-134 (notarized) that files at that time. I told him that it's not in the I-129F instructions.

and BOOM!

He got honked off a bit. I think he wanted to be the expert since he has done this once. But it just made me appreciate the collective wisdom here even more. One person's experience is valid, but the majority of experiences are even more so.

Did I miss something? Does he have a valid point there?

I-134 will be required at interview time and it will need to be dated close to that interview date. Your interview "could" be longer than a year from the time you send in 129-f depending upon security and background checks.Only the VO will decide if you can support her.

Florida currently has more concealed-carry permit holders than any other state, with 1,269,021 issued as of May 14, 2014

The liberal elite ... know that the people simply cannot be trusted; that they are incapable of just and fair self-government; that left to their own devices, their society will be racist, sexist, homophobic, and inequitable -- and the liberal elite know how to fix things. They are going to help us live the good and just life, even if they have to lie to us and force us to do it. And they detest those who stand in their way."

You didn't miss anything. Your friend is wrong. I-134 and Support docs are due at Interview, not with initial submission of petition for I-129F.
