STEP 2 For Petitioner: Complete the original Form I-134, Affidavit of Support and its supplemental documents: W-2 and 1040 tax forms (for the last taxable year), bank and other financial statements and forward it to your relative. (If you are not qualified to sponsor your relative financially, you must find a co-sponsor who can present a Notarized Form I-134 and supplemental documents in addition to your Affidavit of Support. Also you must prepare a statement explaining why you did not pay any taxes to the U.S. Government during the last taxable year).

does this mean i have to send tax forms and w-2 and bank statement and I-134 all in before the interview?( this was taken from packet 3 on the consulate website. ) do i have to send in the originals of everything since its the consulate we are talking about?

You must send all documents and correspondence via UPS from Turkey or U.S. As UPS services are not available in Iran, applicants in Iran may send their documents to our office by any reliable courier service. Your appointment letter or documentation (if it is incomplete) will be returned to you by UPS in 20 working days if your documents are sent from Turkey. You will be responsible for the cost of the return correspondence sent within Turkey by UPS. If you send items from United States or Iran, we will send your documents back via regular mail, which takes several weeks.

does this mean i can actually send in my packet three with say DHL or fedex? and it will be fine,no problem?

ALSO,i have to submit 156K in duplicate online,how do i do that?

TIA

You have to send the i-134 and supporting documents before the interview. Do not send any originals, only photocopies! I'm also pretty sure that you can send the packet via DHL or fedex.
