It is actually better to get the documents near to the interview, like a month or so before the interview, but due to your plan to go to India and be with your fiancee, I say yes, go ahead and prepare all the paperwork now. However remember that things can get delayed so it might be the interview won't be scheduled till after your four month trip! Timings are tricky when it comes to this Visa Journey!!

The I-134 is the only thing you need notarized I think. Since you will be in India four months they might think you will not be earning enough money, I would suggest getting a co-sponsor just in case. Make sure you have the W2s and 1099s for your tax years, they are always picky about that. Free tax transcripts from the IRS are the best. If you order now and they don't come before your trip, your father can always send them to India once they come. Get the statement from the bank and have your father write up a statement too. Below is an example of the employment letter.

The documents dated before the NOA2 is not a big deal but as I said, generally they like dates closer to the interview. Anyway they will understand as you will be living in India. You can always print up current bank statements from India itself, if you have your account online.

OK yes I understand about your father's business. I think it will be OK with your assets... there is a way to calculate assets into your income, I think the guidelines are there in the application instructions. Seems you will be fine, check on the application just in case.

It is good for you if the documents needed are prepared with copies so that when the time comes the approval, there's no hassle anymore.
