None of the above, well the invitation letter does not harm.

Not a complicated process, why is there an agent involved.

he applied it before, and it got denied. so just wants to make sure that he's not missing anything from his part.

so none of the things needed for him to apply? not even i-134?

Agent ? Requesting those? Should tell you the real value in that advise.

What he was missing before probably remains which are his ties to his country. He must prove beyond doubt that he MUST return or there will be no visa.

As has been said none of those items are needed, The letter may be ok but nothing more. You have to understand that anything perceived as support could be seen as a method for him to remain.

A 134 is a support form. If he needs that level of support he wont be allowed a visa.

He needs to address the reason he was declined.

Your cousin will have to prove to the satisfaction of the US consular official at the interviewing US embassy/consulate, that he has significant ties to India such that he would return to India after their US visit is completed. Such ties could include, property, house ownership, current stable employment, etc. Each visitor visa applicant is presumed to have immigration intent, and must prove that they are not trying to immigrate to the US. A letter from a doctor, any documents from you, or any other invitation-type letter would likely have no positive effect on the visitor visa approval.

Good luck.

It sounds like the agent wants to steal your identity. You should be careful handing out such information to others. You will only make things look worse by making it look like you will be supporting this person long term.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

B2 applicants almost always try once or twice to apply on their own. If that fails, folks often end up using the services of shady agents who promise the moon but don’t address the underlying issue(s) that led to the denial.

This is a new take to me.

If you are right you should be able to explain what those issues are that led to the agents of the moon. Help people avoid those very issues while avoiding the guys from Shady Ville.
