Well TBone, instead of unloading criticism of other responders, why not lay down some of YOUR sage advice. We're waiting.... :whistle:
Why would anyone respond further when posters #2, #3, and #4 read what the OP wrote and nonjudgmentally covered the OP's options? When a question has already been answered to the extent that it has been asked, why would anyone blather inappropriate opinions that insult the OP? He posed a legitimate question that deserves respectful replies. Krikit is right that people should stop trying to derail the thread. My direct response to the OP's query is that he consider the options in the first three replies to his original post.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

dud man up and and become a man. if it is over pay for the ticket home. if problems are overr money get a job and make things better. remember you asked her to marry you and you wnated to take care of her!!!

Thank you for the scathing reply. I have read many threads here where all the dirty laundry was aired on this forum. Myself I have chosen not to do this and asked what options were available to me to see her safely home, so please keep your assumptions to yourself.

Maybe when this is all over I will post the details.

The I-134 does make you liable to any agency that may provide services if she is deemed a public charge ( see pg 2 if the I-134 instructions for the cite of the Immigration and Nationality Act ). So looking at it strictly from an expense perspective there may be an eventual cost to you if your fiancee does not have any alternatives.

I second Otto & Karin's suggestions.

Nope.

Not all Countries require an I-134.

The main reason of it's entire existence is to help determine if you will have the means to meet the standards when you file the I-864.

Form I-134 is a simple 2 page document which gives basic financial information and is not legally binding. By contrast, Form I-864 is several pages long, requires detailed financial information, and is legally binding. Because of its complexity, and the fact that it is a legally binding document, processing of the I-864 is a frequent cause of delay in approving an immigrant visa.
