I am going to be in the P.I. once my I-129F is mailed in.. Is it acceptable to have it notarized in the P.I.?

YES there is a notary on staff at the US embassy or consulate.

Forget the K-3 and consider the CR-1, you will be happier for it.

For PI CR-1 takes about same time to get, COMPARE timelines.

CR-1 has the big benefit of GREEN-CARD upon entry, NO ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS. K-3 CANNOT get SSN, WORK, or Get driver's license until they have EAD or Green-card, EAD can take 90 days or MORE to get.

K-3:

I-130: $355

I-129F: NONE

Consulate: $131

AOS: $1010

($1496)

CR-1

I-130: $355

NVC I-864: $70

NVC Visa fee: $400 ($355+$45)

($825)

I see many posts from K-3 holders stating, "Wow this sucks, I an stuck at home because I don't have EAD, DL, etc, or I am having hard time getting added to bank accounts because of NO SSN." K-3 has a 90 day or longer period of limbo while waiting for EAD or Green-card.

K-3 was developed at a time when CR-1 was taking much longer that today, NVC has greatly streamlined the CR-1 process to the point where K-3 becomes irrelevant.

The document states anyone who is able to administer oaths, so yes a local notary should be able to notarize it.
