I always read people asking about this sort of thing but I read so much on here and I end up getting confused.

Ok.

It's about the 1-134 affidavit of support.

I know right now that I am not even close to meeting the minimum requirements so I am having my parents co-sponsor. What I'm confused about is should I just fill out one but not really bother with providing evidence for myself since I would just be proving that I can't support us on my own? And then have my parents fill out another and THEY include evidence. Like do I need to even bother with getting bank statements, etc for myself?

I don't know why this part confuses me so much, blah!

All petitioners must complete the affidavit of support even if they will have a cosponsor. You should always fill out the forms completely and truthfully.

Short answer - yes, and fill in all that you have.

US Embassy and Consulate General Discussion

You are almost there and now you have to deal with the embassy. This is the place to post your experiences or questions related to this last step before moving to the US. Topics relating to I-134's, packets sent from consulate and medical & police certificates should be posted here.

YMMV

The way I look at it... it takes at most a few hours to get your stuff (and really a whole lot less than that) and if they ask for it your have it and if they don't you get to shred it. So I would just go ahead and do it, I know I got my life insurance and bank statement even though I have a co sponsor.

requirements vary by embassy, so look around your embassy's web site and see what it says. The Polish embassy says I-134's are optional, but give little useful guidance beyond that. If you cannot find an official answer to the question, I would suggest emailing the embassy. That's what I plan to do for the Polish embassy.
